I debated how to share this news but I will be taking a temporary leave of absence from NBC Sports Chicago and the Blackhawks broadcasts, as well as
NHL Network. I was recently diagnosed with a form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and will begin treatment
this week. I wish I could reach out to everyone individually, but
felt like this was the best way to share the news. My family, faith, and friends will be my strength to help me through my treatments. I appreciate all the
love and support I have received already. With the holiday season here, cherish the times with
your loved ones, as I know I will.
