As a Red Wings fan I loved this. Chelios was one of my favorite Red Wings. In his 10, 11yrs in Detroit he helped us win 2 Cups, he went to 3 Cup finals in Detroit. He won the Silver medal in the Olympics for team USA in 01-02, which he was captain. He was nominated for a Norris Trophy in 02. He lost to his teammate Nick Lidstrom. When he was traded to Detroit in 1999, I bought his jersey a couple days later and still wear it. I just bought Kane’s Detroit jersey. I hope we extend his contract. Also, Chelly had a no trade clause. He had to waive it to come to Detroit.
They showed him in a suite wearing a #7 Chelios sweater. I think he’s cool with it. He’ll get his banner raised in a few years along with his longtime D partner, Duncan Keith.
Pilote and Magnuson both have their number 3 retired, they'll probably do the same for Seabrook. I would imagine the core 4 of that run will all have their numbers retired
Chelios didn't mention that he started as a forward and it was Bob Parker who taught him how to play defence. I asked Bob,"what made Chelios so good?" Bob said,"he was the quickest learner I've ever seen. I only had to show him something once and he got it."
Cheli thank you for everything you did in Detroit and for the NHL. I’ll never forget meeting you at the Joe Louis Arena, buying your book and you signing it. Congratulations on an extremely well deserved accomplishment. One of the best to ever lace em up.
23:55 As the son of 2 retired Chicago Police officers, this meant a lot to me; especially now when being a police officer isn’t exactly a job that everyone in the world admires (including the god damn mayor of Chicago). Thank you, Cheli.
The Great One, Eddie Vedder, Kid Rock, Dennis Rodman, JR, Amonte, Eddie the Eagle, Cindy Crawford, Theo Epstein, Hossa, Sharpie, Seabs, Keith, Kaner I mean my goodness! I’m not sure any other NHL player past or present gets a turn out like that, and I’m sure I missed some people along the way. That… is RESPECT, and shows just how loyal a person Cheli is. Those people aren’t at the UC if they don’t absolutely adore the man. What a career. The life though… I can’t even imagine. What. A. Life. this man has lived. Well done and well deserved! #7 forever a Blackhawk!
Well deserve!!! It's about dam time. Hometown Hero!!!! Great Job Chris Chelios!!! Congrats on getting ur Jersey #7 put up in the Rafters in the United Center. God Bless Brotha!!!
I’ve been a CHICAGO BLACK HAWK fan since before I was 7. Congratulations CHRIS. You are one of my many favourites on the CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS. GO HAWKS GO.
Cheli is better than that garbage video tribute. Who gives an F about Vanilla Ice and Will Smith? Total Fail. This guy is an ice hockey Hall of Famour'r. Played his ass off for the game. Congrats!!!
Living legend who made a great impact on 3 original six teams spanning 3 decades.
And Atlanta
@@QuantemTekGamingtvBut that was not a great impact.
'Don't steal my thunder, Kaner' , well that aged well instantly! :D
Chris Chelios tribute video is amazing I love it
Only because he played for such a damn long time did it take this long for the Blackhawks to retire the number 7. What a player.
Played so long that a completely different Blackhawks defenseman wore #7 and also had a legendary career here while Chelios was also still playing.
@@PrazMaster I completely forgot Seabrook wore 7 🤣

Thank You Chris For All The Thrills,Hits,Goals You Gave This Hawks Fan Now Living In Tennessee
respect to cheli from stl blues fan
As a red wings fan, can’t blame Chris for going back to Chicago. He was the second best defenseman in Detroit at the time, no shame in that.
LGRW
Respect from an Habs and Canucks fan
I wonder how Brent Seabrook feels about this? Chelios is the "OG" #7, but Brent helped contribute to 3 Stanley Cup championships for the organization.
They'll eventually retire his number.

@@chrisb3976and what number is that?
Congrats Cheli from a Maple Leafs Fan!
Last week Jagr now Chelios. Legends of hockey. I was lucky enough to see them play their entire career.
I was a Defenseman, Cheli was the best! He was my favorite ever since his Badger days!
Chelios didn't mention that he started as a forward and it was Bob Parker who taught him how to play defence. I asked Bob,"what made Chelios so good?" Bob said,"he was the quickest learner I've ever seen. I only had to show him something once and he got it."
whoever did the music needs a raise
Exactly
As a Chicagoan now living in the Carolinas that made me home sick. That era of Blackhawks and Bulls teams were special.
Ahh the good old 90's congrats chelios from oilers fan
Cheli thank you for everything you did in Detroit and for the NHL. I’ll never forget meeting you at the Joe Louis Arena, buying your book and you signing it. Congratulations on an extremely well deserved accomplishment. One of the best to ever lace em up.
I loved that 90's video. Awesome stuff.
Glad Chelios recognized Kane in a Detroit uniform being goofy
I love Tony Amonte and Jeremy Roenick
It was classy of him to mention Bob Probert. RIP Bob.

Chelios is the reason I became a Blackhawks. A loved Seabrook when he played too and I feel his name should be on the banner next to Chelios´.
LEGEND ABSOLUTLY A LEGEND
thats a pretty dope ass videos. the best at a retirement ceremony i've ever seen
Number seven was a fierce competitor.
Legend
Chris Chelios cest mon hero

So glad they showed this on regular tv...
I've met him a couple of times at a gas station in Hoffman Estates. He was super cool.
Hated him wearing #7 in Chicago. Loved him in #24 for Detroit. He truly deserved this honor.
8:00 Ik one of those guys is Brett hull is the other kid rock.
Well deserve!!! It's about dam time. Hometown Hero!!!! Great Job Chris Chelios!!! Congrats on getting ur Jersey #7 put up in the Rafters in the United Center. God Bless Brotha!!!
Chelios Rocks-GREAT & INSPERATIONAL MAN
He really did not say “ wakey wakey Backes”
Damn that guy is cool and savage for that 😊😅😅😢😂
Habs 86 ring. Happy hawks retired his jersey. He deserve it. Gave his heart n soul for that team
In the montage they show NHL 94 and it's of Yzerman scoring on Belfour. That doesn't seem right
what an incredible ceremony
NHL needs more of this, not to this extent because chel was special.
Most of Chelly's hits would be illegal in today's game
Only question I have is how did Hossa get his number retired before Chris????
Million dollar question.
Because Brent Seabrook also wore number 7.
unreal video intro
why did the start with the dolby surround sound effect
I’ve been a CHICAGO BLACK HAWK fan since before I was 7. Congratulations CHRIS. You are one of my many favourites on the CHICAGO BLACK HAWKS.
GO HAWKS GO.
Starts at 3:00 if you want to skip to the point
That is a hockey player
Not many made like that
Habs legend
CONGRATS!!!! But uh team your facing the wrong way to watch it raise?!
Nice
What happened to his kid Dean? Thought he played hockey at MSU a few years ago, looks like now he can barely walk.
Greatest American born player still active is #34.
Did the Hotel Room in Japan show up that he trashed after they lost in Nagano?
That was a huge exaggeration. In Japan throwing a wrapper on the floor warrants a police investigation. In was minor stuff made into a big deal.
No offence but why so long?
It’s worth the long video my opinion
He wasn’t afraid of much
Seabrook tried his best.
45
So this is the guy they said was washed up after 10 yrs… played another 10… HOF career and now they want to claim him as there own…. Ok
lmao his son changed his named to a chinese name to play for china in the olympics XD WHAT A PROUD AMERICAN!
Pearl Jam tribute was awesome. Rest of the video tribute was meh.
Cheli is better than that garbage video tribute. Who gives an F about Vanilla Ice and Will Smith? Total Fail. This guy is an ice hockey Hall of Famour'r. Played his ass off for the game. Congrats!!!
Because its highlighting other things that happened in the 90s.
Seabrook’s 7 should have gone up first
35:49 that’s not Auston Matthews cheli
Damn right its not
Zero Stanley Cups
Auston Matthews should have played for the Buffalo Bills
The box that the banner came out of was made by my daughter!!!🫶👍🎉
