Jonathan Toews is set to return to professional hockey, joining the Winnipeg Jets after stepping away for health reasons. The former Chicago Blackhawks captain spent time recovering from long COVID and immune-related issues, which kept him out of the league for two full seasons. By mid-2025, Toews expressed confidence in resuming his career and began preparations for an NHL comeback.
In June 2025, Toews signed a one-year contract with the Jets, signaling a shift from speculation to an active role. Training reports through September highlighted his integration with the team and the anticipation among Jets players and staff about his leadership and experience. Teammates described his return as a "new experience," noting both his work ethic and the veteran presence he brings to the locker room.
Official announcements in October confirmed Toews’ readiness to compete, emphasizing his potential to contribute on and off the ice. While his primary role is expected to be leadership-driven, his return is seen as a boost to a contending Jets squad. Fans and analysts are closely watching how he transitions back into the pace and demands of the NHL after his extended absence.
