The Stanley Cup tracker is a wild phenomenon post-Blackhawks championship wins, as it should be. But sometimes, a visit or two does more than simply garner the attention of young fans ready to show up at any given bar at any given notice.
Sometimes, the Cup carefully holds premature babies as they navigate their first few months outside the incubator.
On Tuesday, Blackhawks chairman, Rocky Wirtz, took the Cup to the infant special care unit at Northshore Evanston Hospital and as CSN's Chuck Garfien put it, "did some healing."
Calvin Phillip Tietz was born three months early and spent a month in an incubator after dodging a surgery when doctors successfully repaired a hole in one of his tiny lungs.
