Chicago Recognizes Aug. 8 as Patrick Kane Day

The City of Chicago officially declared Aug. 8 “Patrick Kane Day” in honor of the Chicago Blackhawks legend’s jersey number 88.

Per WGN Radio’s Charlie Roumeliotis, Kane was at Johnny’s Icehouse in Chicago as Brian Hopkins, the city’s second ward alderman, presented him with a certificate commemorating the day.

According to CBS Chicago’s Krista Ruch, Kane spent the morning with his son, also named Patrick, on the ice with his teammates as he prepared for a full day of activities with the community.

This offseason, Kane, who has spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, signed a one-year, $3 million extension with the Red Wings, keeping him with the club through the 2025-26 season.
