Chicago Blackhawks Speech
The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois.
They are members of the Central Division of the Western
Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). They have won four Stanley Cup Championships and fourteen division titles since their founding in 1926. Since 1994, the
Blackhawks have played their home games at the United Center afterhaving spent 65 years playing at Chicago Stadium.Currently, they are the defending Stanley Cup champions,having defeated the
Philadelphia Flyers at the conclusion of their 2009–10 season.
The Chicago Blackhawks joined the NHL in 1926
The team's first owner was coffee tycoon Frederic McLaughlin, who outbid grain magnate James E. Norris for the franchise. McLaughlin had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I.[2] This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division", after a Native
American of the Sauk nation, Chief Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois.
McLaughlin evidently named the hockey team in honor of the military unit, making it one of many sports team names using Native Americans as icons. For many years, the name was spelled "Black Hawks." This issue was finally settled in the summer of 1986 when the club officially decided on the one-word version based on the spelling found in the original franchise documents.
The Blackhawks season was a moderate success
Their first game was played against the toronto st. patricks @ the Chicago coliseum
The Black Hawks won their first game by beating the
St. Patricks 4 to 1. They ended up finishing the season in 3rd place
from there the blackhawks went on to win the 1934/38 stanley cup Before the Blackhawks went on to winning the 34 and 38 stanley cups the NHL went through a major hardship, which caused the NHL to go from
10 teams to 6 teams which was known as the "original 6 era"
