Is Chris Chelios really the greatest American born player in the history of the National Hockey League as Pat Foley said?
Chris Chelios is widely regarded as one of the greatest American-born players in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL). Pat Foley, the legendary Chicago Blackhawks broadcaster, has gone so far as to call Chelios the "greatest American player in NHL history."
Chelios's resume is certainly impressive. He played 26 seasons in the NHL, winning three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens. He was a three-time Norris Trophy winner as the NHL's top defenseman, and he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013.
However, it is difficult to definitively say whether Chelios is the greatest American-born player in NHL history. There are many other great players to consider, such as Mike Modano, Jeremy Roenick, and Phil Housley. Ultimately, it is up to each individual fan to decide who they believe is the greatest.
