The year has been as much of a whirlwind for them as it has for their son.
"It's been so busy, so exciting—one thing after the other," said Andree. "The Olympics was the most amazing time for us as a family. I seriously thought that I would never live to experience something more exciting in my life.
"And then a few months later I watched him beat Philadelphia flyers jerseys guys and lift the Stanley Cup. I cried."
As proud as Toews is of the accomplishments, he'd prefer to look ahead rather than behind. It's hard to go anywhere without meeting someone who wants to talk about the Stanley Cup,ice hockey jerseys but in the back of his mind he knows a new journey is beginning.
"To a certain point, I think you kind of feel like it's time to move on," said Toews. "People want to keep talking about it for years to come, but I think for those of us that are going back to Chicago this year, we're all excited to go back and see each other again and get things started. Hopefully we'll have the same success next year.
"We've had our fair share of fun this summer and I think nhl hockey jerseys we're ready to move on and get ready for training camp."
Toews did take some time to try and recharge his batteries. Between an appearance with teammates on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and two days of celebrations with the Stanley Cup in Winnipeg, he managed to get in some fishing and relaxing at the cottage.
He also went back and watched some video of the overtime goal teammate Patrick Kane scored against Philadelphia in Game 6 to win the championship.
"For the longest time,mac makeup outlet I didn't have time to do anything like that," said Toews. "(It was nice) to really slow down and appreciate it and relive the actual moment itself. You've got your own memories of what you went through, but to see it on TV and see it from a fans perspective ... you get chills reliving that moment."
It will be tough to duplicate. The Blackhawks have been the story of the NHL's off-season after purging a number of players from insanity dvd their championship roster—including goaltender Antti Niemi and Toews's former linemate Dustin Byfuglien—to stay under the salary cap.
Toews expects it to be a little strange when the team reports for training camp next month with a fair amount of new personnel. But he's excited for the challenge.
"It's just about getting those new guys on board," said Toews. "We need to make them understand what the locker-room culture's all about and how hard we work and what it takes to be a Blackhawk.
"This year we're going to have a different team. ... As a captain, I've got my work cut out for me I guess." He loves ice hockey sports so much,let's waiting for his perfromance on NHL 2011 again.
