He's played hurt his entire career. He's an animal. It's not accidental what he's done in his career. What a competitor. I have nothing but admiration for Chris Chelios. He should be a model to all young players as to what it means to compete at the highest level.

I've known Chris since he was 15. I've coached him on many teams. He earned all of this and he deserves it. He's the hardest working player I have ever known.
