The Chicago Blackhawks joined the NHL in 1926 as one of the league’s Original Six franchises. At the time, they were known as the Black Hawks and remained so until the 1986-87 season.

Additionally, they have reached the Stanley Cup Final six times.

5 Positives From the Blackhawks’ 7-3 Loss to the Penguins

The Chicago Blackhawks hosted the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, Dec. 28, and it was one of the strangest games I’ve ever attended. To start with, it was warm and rainy when I entered the United Center, and then cold and windy when I left. Just like the fickle weather, the Blackhawks flashed moments of growth and improvement while still managing to lose the game 7-3.
