Jonathan Toews isn't worried about his hands, they are as soft as ever. His feet though? Could be a different story.
Toews went home this offseason, returning to the NHL by signing a one-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets. He's a huge part of the Winnipeg community, has done a massive amount of charity work to spread love throughout communities, and now he'll be returning to the ice this upcoming season.
"These last five or six months, things have really trended in a direction, since I started skating back in February and March," Toews said Friday. "Those are the moments where I'm like, okay, still got the hands. The hands are still there; the feet will catch up. Things have slowly gotten better since then. Really happy about where I'm at."
"You have these moments throughout your career where some things, I don't wanna say you get jaded, but you get used to it, and you kinda settle in," Toews said. "This is another moment that kinda brings me back to like, it's that new feeling, like you're getting drafted again, you're a young kid. I think as you grow as a person, you kinda take a little bit with you everywhere you go. But, there are parts of you that will never change. I'll always be a Winnipegger through and through. It's a dream come true to come back and play in front of my friends and family, and be a part of this city once again."
