Chicago Blackhawks Bring Marine Home For Christmas

The Chicago Blackhawks brought home a Marine for the holidays, and Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews surprised his family in the locker room.

[@drewskiwolf]

I'm a hard core St.Louis Blues fan, but this gives me a huge respect for the Blackhawks. Great job guys.... and welcome home Marine.

[@DirtyBeefCurtains]

Huge wings fan but nothing but respect for the hawks organization. Best rivalry in hockey

[@GrimReaperOutdoors]

Detroit need to get there asses back to the west I miss the good old hawks wings playoff series and the rivalry in general.....

[@JPDoktor]

Steven Toth Or we can hope for a Hawks - Wings SCF

[@GrimReaperOutdoors]

Hopefully! Im sure it wouldn't disappoint.

[@metalcoreskates]

[@QuantemTekGamingtv]

Brett Schmidt Im a blackhawks fan but i thought the st louis blues and the detroit red wing were enemys

[@jhipolito36]

I'm a huge Minnesota fan, but after watching this I gained a lot of respect the Blackhawks organization.

[@jakelehtinen3806]

You have Kane as your picture

[@brandhop98]

I'm a huge Blackhawks fan, and this is one of the greatest videos on youtube

[@suewarso8250]

The Blackhawks are not only just a team but they are all gentlemen. What they do for their fans is great. From Wirtz to the front office to the players. I know that this family and their soldier had a great time.

[@simonwatts9278]

Blaackhawks! BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD!!! RESPECT!

[@beast37171611]

Huge respect for the organization from a rangers fan.

[@markminter6312]

Well, that didn't age well.

[@CenTexSlingshot]

Might be the only time I like the Blackhawks. (Let's go Blues!)

[@jono2514]

I had never really been a blackhawk fan but to see this, shows that's it's just a great orginization :)

[@AmericanChick93]

that was nice of yall to do that, i appreciate when people do stuff like this for someone, i know it meant the world for that family!

[@giannam2397]

I don't care if you're a Blackhawks fan or not, this is just the greatest thing ever.

[@LudvikvonPenguin]

As a Penguins Fan my hat is off to the Blackhawks and the Blackhawks organization. CLASS all the way!

[@cameronbittiker8800]

to me this prove that even people who are not in the military can be heros by help helping

[@Lindylax821]

This shows how grateful hockey players are for our military!

[@Lava1964]

Applause from a lifelong Boston Bruins fan (who has always had great respect for the Blackhawks).

[@dvon1097]

That is so awesome. God bless my cousin Jeff and the rest of the men and women protecting our freedoms and keeping us safe. And im a Bruins fan but i have nothing but respect for the Blackhawks

[@1flyhigher]

[@funkingchint]

soldiers and dads deserve way more than athletes and celebrities

[@hockeysaint07]

Hockey players have the biggest hearts . And thank you kaner you do a great job representing buffalo and the USA

[@lipstickwarrior597]

I'm an Army Mom and Wife and I love all branches, I am thankful for the sacrifices and I'm proud to be an American. I also wanna say "HOORAH"!

[@SlenderPride814]

I'm from Chicago is nice that the Blackhawks did this

[@patanders7368]

im a bruins fan and even though i wanted boston i am proud to have such a good organization take it

[@BlazeIce21]

This is one of the many reasons why I love the Blackhawks.

[@hkgoalie91]

Gotta say the owner of the Blackhawks really turned things around once he got the team...before that they were a losing team that wouldn't even show their home games on TV because "then people wouldn't go to the games" They have now made the playoffs 4 years straight, won a cup, and are a team that actually cares about the city of Chicago Bravo William Rockwell!

[@shadow0clone]

army,navy,marine or air force that doesint matter, what matters is he's a hero and the blackhawks did a very good thing :)

[@gohawksgo231]

that part that i liked is when sharpy and a couple of the other hawks gave them there sticks. as a kid i recived a stick from an ahl hockey player and i was super exicited. good for that family

[@kjchicago1]

Now, this was so beautiful! So Terrific! The Marine was so surprised to see his family and they were surprised to see him as well! The Blackhawks organization must be proud!

[@mrmikeym24]

Wow, what a amazing surprise for all involved, but more so for the kids.

[@raymondrregalbuto9897]

Made me respect the blackhawks a whole lot more, class act or what?!

[@mbjacobs]

Nice. I'm in Boston and to see the teams here rally for the community made a serious morale impact, at least for me. Nice vid.

[@vasilinemec]

Every time I see a picture or video of Hjalmarsson doing something like this, he always goes above and beyond. When they worked with children with cancer this year, he held a little girl's hand during the national anthem and you could tell it made her day. People seem to light up around him, what an exceptional young man.

[@carissamalette145]

Being a Boston fan this is a beautiful thing the Black Hawks did for this soldier and his family. Glad this Marine was able to make it home safely to his family.

[@JimMLINY]

What a great bunch of family, friends and NHLers! Simply beautiful!! Way to go Blackhawks. Thank you for your service! You are a fine young fella with a wonderful caring loving family!!!!!

[@Trid3nt861]

WHO CUT THE ONIONS!!!! touching moment for a family and their Marine.

[@sigmiami]

Semper Fi and God Bless Brother, great job USO and Black Hawks!

[@Noname-vv4xb]

This was the most anti-climatic family I have seen welcoming home their son. They seemed more excited about getting hockey sticks than seeing him. I know this video is several years old, but welcome home brotha. S/F

[@xbabex13xhot]

wow you are so right, i was expecting like a huge chorus "OH MY GOD" and screaming, and it just didn't happen. not that this wasn't an amazing thing for the Hawks to do or for that man to serve for our country, but what an awkward reunion moment.

[@theewithapologies]

they were all thinking aboot the christmas present they put off getting him, they figured they could wait a few more months

[@Broxty]

As a Canucks fan... As well as a Canadian military member... This was truly amazing. As much as I hate Kane, I can really respect his commitment to this surprise, I know it comes natural to a guy like Toews, but for a guy that beat the shit out of a taxi driver, damn Kane I like you a little more.

[@pattisimmons67]

this was awesome! Yay Blackhawks! To the family, your sacrifices are inspiring! To our young Marine, Your CHOICE to join the Marines and your PLEDGE TO KEEPING NOT ONLY YOUR FAMILY BUT YOUR COUNTRY SAFE SHALL NEVER, IN MY HEART AND THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MILLIONS, BE FORGOTTEN! God Bless you and yours and God Bless America

[@taniciamorgan6654]

Wow! Im not an American but these videos get me all the time

[@cyanimide2]

kaner and toews...gotta love em

[@allghilliedup21]

I'm a Canucks fan...we do some crazy emotional stuff with the team, but this tops everything! Cheers from Vancouver

[@WAM799]

i wish i could just hand out my sticks like that... the hawks are one classy organization

[@weeatpplproductions]

As a Stars fan I must say I now respect the Blackhawks. Class act for sure.

[@octavioadrianzen5406]

I'm a die hard Canucks and when the puck drops I really don't like chicago but this is really great. nice work Blackhawks.

[@adamg2781]

[@arrowflight109]

As a PENs fan. I LIKE THE HAWKS glad they won the cup. 2013

[@BearsFan1456]

This is why the Hawks are the greatest team. They give so much back to their community and they genuinely enjoy it. P.S. I want Hjammer's stick :(

[@BizIsNasty]

brought a tear to my eye

[@exhausthead1]

im a penguins fan i have to say. but seeing you guys do something like this has just given me so much respect for you all. its a great thing seeing people help out to get a military family reunited even if just for a minute.

[@backyardlacrosseleague7637]

Family reunion in the blackhawks locker room WOW.

[@valglass12]

Look at those nice Blackhawks players and their great organization getting a Marine home for the holidays. And surprising the family no less. Jesse Jackson sure as hell couldn't pull a stunt like this in a million years!

[@coltsfan69]

As an Avalanche fan, I got to say that was awesome.

[@dawnscott5889]

[@4251paramore]

[@stevedrums1675]

As a Ranger fan, I'd like to echo the compliments given by Flyer fan 'TheMidnightEDxpress'. First class all the way!!

[@fiamma2109]

Is it me or were not that surprised at first. Maybe it was delayed reaction but the whole thing the Blackhawks did for him and his family is so sweet.

[@seanathen123456789]

absolutely love it, unreal on so many levels

[@_Tommmmmm_]

Quennville is a damn good guy.

[@robbob100]

The older gentleman reminds me of Grady from Sanford and Son!!

[@TURKEYpilot101]
