Earlier this year, the Chicago Blackhawks announced that they were going to retire the jersey of three-time Stanley Cup champion Marian Hossa. The specific date/game that it was going to be retired on was still 'TBD' until Wednesday morning.

The Blackhawks will raise Hossa's number 81 to the rafters at the United Center on Sunday, November 20th against one of his former teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"Additionally, Marian Hossa's highly anticipated jersey retirement ceremony has been scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 20 vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins at 6 p.m., presented by United Airlines. The first 10,000 fans to enter the United Center will receive a miniature replica Hossa banner." The Blackhawks said in a statement.

Hossa, 43, spent the final eight seasons of his nineteen-year NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks. In 534 career games with them, the Stara Lubovna native had 415 points (186 goals, 229 assists), 170 penalty minutes and was a plus-133. He helped the Blackhawks win three Stanley Cups during his time in Chicago, those championships came in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
