Hawerchuck was told shortly before he passed that the Winnipeg would honor him with a statue. That also was a genuine gesture from the Jets. As you might expect, the unveiling of the statue was an emotional moment for family, friends and fans. Sixteen of Hawerchuck's former teammates uncovered the statue for everyone to see. The statue is an awesome resemblance of Dale as captain with the old Jets logo.
It was very sad to hear Dale pass away at such a young age two years ago. What a great move this was by the Jets to honor one of the franchise's all-time great players with a statue. The Jets deserve full praise for this. We all know the city of Winnipeg loves hockey and has a great fondness for star players that have skated there.
