Kendall Coyne's connection to the Chicago Blackhawks began earnestly when she proudly wore No. 7 on her jersey as a nod to Hall of Fame defenseman Chris Chelios.
"Obviously, growing up in Palos Heights, I have been a Blackhawks fan my entire life," said Coyne, 27, who won a gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics. "When I was a kid, the Blackhawks games were not on TV, so my parents would bring my brother and me to watch the Blackhawks play. The stadium didn't look like it does today. We would sit in the 300 section and we would actually play shinny hockey, then watch the game, then get back to our shinny hockey game.
"When I started playing (organized team hockey), I was No. 7 for Chris Chelios for most of my career. And my parents ... I am so fortunate that they took the time and effort to drive me down to the United Center and allow us to watch those games. Because otherwise I wasn't watching hockey. I was only playing it. I wanted to be Chris Chelios for a big chunk of my career until I met Cammi (Granato)."
