Chicago Blackhawks Company Description
When the Windy City turns cold, these Hawks start flying on the ice. One of the Original Six professional hockey franchises of the National Hockey League, the Chicago Blackhawks boast a long history that includes three Stanley Cup championships. Its roster has featured such Hall of Fame players as Phil and Tony Esposito, Bobby Hull, and Stan Mikita. However, the club also sports the dubious distinction of enduring the longest championship drought in the league: Its last Stanley Cup title was won in 1961. Loyal fans continue to support the team at Chicago's United Center. The Wirtz family has owned the Blackhawks franchise through their Wirtz Corporation since 1954.
