Corey Crawford took a break during the festivities surrounding his day with the Stanley Cup to do a little business that will make him one of the NHL’s highest-paid goaltenders beginning with the 2014-15 season.
Crawford agreed to a six-year contract extension with the Blackhawks on Monday, the same day he had the Cup in his hometown of Montreal to celebrate backstopping the Hawks to their second championship in four years.
“Being able to get a chance to bring the Cup back home (with) all the people I played minor hockey with and grew up with and all my family was pretty special to start off — to add this on top of it is amazing,” Crawford said. “I want to be in Chicago for my whole career and this is amazing to be able to do this and get this deal done.”
