A bronze statue commemorating Dale Hawerchuk, the former Winnipeg Jet and Hockey Hall of Famer who died in 2020 after a battle with cancer, was unveiled in front of a crowd of thousands on Saturday Oct. 1st / 2022
Hawerchuk, who died at the age of 57, played nine seasons with the Jets and five with the Buffalo Sabres, before ending his 16-year NHL career with stints in St. Louis and Philadelphia. He was the youngest player in NHL history to score 100 points — a record later broken by Sidney Crosby in 2006.
"Now he is home again in Winnipeg," his wife, Crystal Hawerchuk told the crowd at True North Square, adding the family would always remember the fans.
