Former Chicago Blackhawks announcer Pat Foley returned to Chicago last night and delivered some special pregame remarks with several other former Blackhawks on hand.
The Chicago Blackhawks continued their strong start to the year last night, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 at United Center.
During the game, there were thousands of bobbleheads of the late goaltender Tony Esposito given out to the first 8,000 fans in attendance.
There was also a special pre-game speech given by former longtime Blackhawks announcer Pat Foley, with several other former Blackhawks in attendance, including Corey Crawford and Patrick Sharp, along with family members of Esposito, Glenn Hall, Bobby Hull, and Stan Mikita.

Pat Foley Was Recently Named A Blackhawks Ambassador
Before this season, the Blackhawks announced that both Foley and former Blackhawks forward Jeremy Roenick had been officially named team ambassadors.
"The Centennial season has provided us the perfect opportunity to showcase our commitment to building and maintaining relationships with all of our incredible alumni and their remarkable connection to the fans that make up the Blackhawks community. We are constantly striving to create new and exciting ways for our fans to engage with our alumni, and the Ambassador program has allowed us to do just that while also providing additional leadership amongst our alumni group."
Foley was the play by play voice of the Blackhawks from 1981 to 2022, and was also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2014.
