WINNIPEG — If the name of Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews wasn’t already etched into Manitoba’s identity, it certainly is now.

This morning the provincial government named a Manitoba lake after the homegrown sports star.

The pristine Toews Lake is located 150 kilometres north of Flin Flon.

“I never imagined something like this would happen, a lake named after me in my home province,” Toews said.

Premier Greg Selinger said about the naming: “We do it for people who make an outstanding contribution in their field.”
