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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
The 8 haters just DO NOT CARE about the sacrifices the military families have to make. Thank goodness I'm NOT one of those haters. I LOVE seeing these videos. ^_^
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.
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.
wow,tht was touching,it was wierd i cried.but,i lovepatrick kane andjonathan toews.those 2 r my fav in hockey.it was nice of them 2 do tht for the family.i wish i could meet them 2.tht would make my wishes come too. :)
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
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!!!!!
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.
Wow this makes me cry! The Hawks are all so sweet and nice and it was great to see the family's reaction when the marine came in :) I want it to be Christmas!
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
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.
