Thanks predominantly to Rocky Wirtz, Blackhawks popularity in Chicago is at an all-time high

CHICAGO - As you get into the back of the cab while attempting to flee the chaos of humanity otherwise known as O’Hare International Airport, you are greeted by a small videoscreen that immediately lets you know how relevant hockey is here in the Windy City.

“Bring the Cup home Hawks,” blares the 15-second message on the screen.

A taste of Hawks fever. Nice.

To pass the time on the 25-minute drive downtown (25 minutes if you’re lucky, that is), you reach for the copy of the Chicago Sun Times you picked up on your way out of the terminal.
