Chelios.......Still Skating

Much respect for the dude, even though he spent the last 10 seasons skating for the wrong team.

I like Chelios, but might be time to hang it up. I get that he does not want to and that is fine, I am sure an NHL team will take him mid season after injuries. He is not what he used to be, but I would trust him more over a rookie Defender in a key situation.

47 years old and still wants to play. Talk about a love for the game, cause he sure ain't doing it for the money now. Hes already made more than 40 million in his career.

This guy was/is amazing look at all his awards, honors and trophys hes won in his career...
