PRAGUE - When word got out that Marian Hossa was in a hallway just outside of their dressing room at O2 Arena in Prague, Blackhawks players began to slip away from preparing to practice to greet him.
There were handshakes, hugs and plenty of smiles as Hossa met with Jonathan Toews, Brent Seabrook and Duncan Keith on Thursday before the Blackhawks took the ice on the eve of their 2019-20 season opener against the Flyers as part of the NHL's Global Series. After practice, other players who won one, two or three of the Blackhawks most recent Stanley Cups with Hossa rushed to get dressed so they, too, could reunite with him.
