Winnipeg, MB - Mayor Sam Katz invites citizens of Winnipeg to come out and congratulate Jonathan Toews as he brings the Stanley Cup to our city.
“Many young hockey players look up to Jonathan Toews, not only for his achievements throughout his hockey career, but also for his generosity and caring off the ice,” said Mayor Katz. “I know that many Winnipeggers will be thrilled to have the opportunity to meet Jonathan and see the Stanley Cup up close.”
The Captain of the Chicago Blackhawks will greet the public on Friday, July 19, 2013 at the Jonathan Toews Community Centre, 1188 Dakota Street, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Mayor Katz renamed the Dakota Community Centre the Jonathan Toews Community Centre in July 2010, after Jonathan led his team to his first Stanley Cup victory and won gold playing for Team Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Jonathan Toews was born and raised in Winnipeg and his parents still live in the city.
