Chris Chelios's No. 7 Chicago Blackhawks jersey retirement at United Center

Chelios’ family and a few celebrities gathered at the United Center for Chris Chelios's No. 7 jersey retirement, with some even taking the ice.

Chelios’s daughter Tara, Cindy Crawford (supermodel), Theo Epstein (former Chicago Blackhawks president) and Eddie Vedder (singer/songwriter) participated in Shoot the Puck during the second intermission of the Blackhawks’ game against the Detroit Red Wings.

Despite Crawford's lack of prior hockey experience, her third attempt successfully scored, earning applause from the crowd. A native of DeKalb, IL, Crawford displayed surprising skill on the ice. While Vedder received coaching from Chelios, he narrowly missed the mark on two out of three attempts. Crawford was the only one to score during the final round.

Chelios's exceptional NHL career has seen him win various trophies, including three Stanley Cups, culminating in a record-setting 27-year tenure with 1,651 appearances, the most by any defenseman. Additionally, he holds the record for the most NHL games played by an American-born player and amassed 948 points, including 185 goals and 763 assists.
