Another Wisconsin Sports Legend Comes Home

By Dan O'Donnell

Just days after one fortysomething Hall-of-Famer returned to the site of his former glory, former Badger hockey legend Chris Chelios will lace 'em up against the Admirals tomorrow night.  Somehow I don't think this will generate the buzz of, say, Brett vs. the Packers, but it's still nice to see a local boy come home...now please don't boo him!

 

 

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Former Wisconsin star Chris Chelios will play in Milwaukee on Wednesday when the AHL's Chicago Wolves take on the Admirals.
     The 47-year-old Chelios played from 1983 until 2009 in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings before signing with the Wolves of the American Hockey League.
     Before his pro career, Chelios spent two seasons at Wisconsin and finishing with 22 goals and 75 assists while helping the Badgers win the 1983 NCAA title.
