ahhh crazy. im sure he is doing this to stay in game shape, i wonder if he will make an appearance at the olympics for leadership?

Dude this was all over the news here like last week, and his mother still lives here
he has a restaurant here and Chelly is still an chi-town fan favorite. I hope the Hawks
ask him back so he can retire as playing with Chi-town again.

I think he was practicing with the Wolves for a while, but hadn't signed a contract until yesterday. I could be wrong about that though.

according to the Wolves website he skated with the team during their practice last Monday.

it also says on their website that he will play in their game Friday night. he must have been conditioning all summer to be ready to play so soon.
