One of Canada’s favorite pastimes is quickly becoming America’s too. Hockey continues to build its popularity and has emerged from its slump during the 90s. One of the teams that had led the way for the NHL’s comeback is the Chicago Blackhawks. The team based in Chicago, Illinois accompanies many other major sports franchises in the big city.

With thirteen division titles, the Chicago Blackhawks is a team to take seriously. Provided with expert coaching, similar to the kind they receive from current head coach Denis Savard, the Blackhawks plays with a deadly mix of offense and defense that is hard to compete with. The team has achieved the honor of winning three Stanley cups, however the most recent one was in 1960, and they’re looking to regain that title once again. Currently the team is being shifted around and tailored to defeat the competition in the NHL, the Blackhawks’ captain title is vacant but will be filled when the time is right.

Whoever steps up and become the captain will lead the Blackhawks into a fierce season there; they will see what the current shuffling of players has done for them. Any hockey fan should check out the Chicago Blackhawks this year as it is poised to be one of the most exciting and eventful years in recent history for the team. Season tickets are inexpensive and should be obtained early on as the NHL is becoming more and more popular by the year.
