Following a major announcement by the NHL involving the league's quarter-century team, Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane has been named to the roster.
A well deserved honoring to the three-time Stanley Cup Champion, who shows zero signs of slowing down at the age of 36.
He joins Pavel Datsyuk on this iconic list:
Won the 2008 Calder Trophy, 2013 Conn Smythe Trophy, and the Hart and Art Ross Trophies and the Ted Lindsay Award in 2016. Three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Blackhawks (2010, '13, '15). Was named one of the NHL's 100 Greatest Players during the League's Centennial Celebration in 2017.
A golden era in the history of the Blackhawks ended when Kane, the No. 1 pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, was traded to the New York Rangers on Feb. 28, 2023. He had 1,225 points (446 goals, 779 assists) in 1,161 games during 15 seasons, second in Blackhawks history in points and assists behind Stan Mikita (1,467 points, 926 assists), third in goals behind Bobby Hull (604) and Mikita (541), and third in games played behind Mikita (1,396) and Duncan Keith (1,192). Kane helped Chicago to three Stanley Cup championships. He passed Mike Modano for most 20-goal seasons by a United States-born player in NHL history with his 17th when he scored for the Detroit Red Wings in a 5-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes at Little Caesars Arena on April 4.

Kane's fellow Red Wings teammate honored him with a statement to NHL.COM.
"It was so much fun getting to watch him when I was younger. He's a big part of why the Chicago kids around my age play so much hockey and why hockey's so big." -- Red Wings forward J.T. Compher
