Jonathan Toews is a Canadian ice hockey player, who currently serves as the captain of the NHL team Chicago Blackhawks. Born and brought up in Manitoba, Canada, Jonathan and his younger brother started practising ice hockey very early in their lives as their father used to make a hockey rink in their backyard during the winter seasons.

His father worked at the University of Manitoba as the chief electrician while his mother worked as a managing director and finance expert at a credit union. Jonathan was the elder one among the two brothers and his younger brother David also went on to forge a career in ice hockey following his brother’s footsteps.

Their father Brian was himself a keen ice hockey enthusiast and he sparked the first interest in his sons for the game. Jonathan started skating at the age of 3 and became extremely confident with that. Within a couple of years, he further started playing ice hockey. Seeing both his kids enjoying ice hockey, their father built a backyard rink for them and all three of them skated there till they were tired. Brian said that Jonathan had a natural talent and a keen presence of mind at a young age which nobody could have taught him.

In December 2009, Jonathan received an extension on his contract for five more years and he ended the season with 68 points in 76 games.

In May 2010, Jonathan registered the second hat-trick of his career against Canucks in a 2010 play-off match. In June 2010, he led his team to win the Stanley Cup which was Chicago’s first cup win since 1961. He further became the second youngest NHL team captain to bring his team to a Stanley Cup victory.

The successful steak for Jonathan reflected in the final points tally for the 2013-14 season where he scored 68 points in 76 games. In July 2014, Blackhawks announced that Jonathan’s contract had been extended by 8 more years. In 2015, he led his team to a victory in the Western Conference Final and scored the first two goals for his team while he was at it.
