The Chicago Blackhawks came off of a hard fought Overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks and headed into Los Angeles to face-off against the Kings last night. In need of some key victories before the Olympic break, and battling some past overtime losses, the Hawks had to hit the ice flying.

Just prior to the game, Patrick Kane received heart-breaking news that his grandfather, Donald Kane, had passed away. Bearing the awful news, Patrick Kane still suited up for the game and even had one stellar performance. Scoring 2 goals with 1 assist, Patrick truly showed the remarkable dedication he has for the game of hockey, his team, and most importantly his family. Everyone who has lost someone special in their life understands the pain Patrick and the Kane family must have been endearing, but to still put on your equipment and play a remarkable game is just incredible. Patrick Kane is an amazing young man with a big heart and an extraordinary amount of love for the game of hockey. I can only imagine how proud Donald Kane must have been of Patrick. After scoring one of his goals, Kaner symbolically pointed up in the air for his grandpa. Despite losing his best friend and grandpa, Patrick was able to rally the Hawks to a 5-3 victory.

Just moments after the matchup, Kaner was asked about his grandpa in an interview, and his words were certainly very heart-felt. The interview is posted below.

Our condolences are sent out to the entire Kane family and friends for their loss.
