Toews — wearing a Ryan Dempster Cubs jersey, a nod to his fellow Canadian who pitched nine of his 16 MLB seasons for the Cubs including during the Blackhawks 2010 title season — nailed the first pitch, and got another cheer from the fans on his way off the mound.
The Jets face off against the Blackhawks on Tuesday at United Center (8:30 p.m. ET; TSN3, CHSN).
Many of Toews’ Jets teammates joined him at the game.
