The Chicago Blackhawks are in another Winter Classic, but let’s be honest the arrival of this great era of Chicago Blackhawks hockey truly began 8 years ago when the Chicago Blackhawks took the ice at Wrigley Field in their first Winter Classic appearance.
There are old school fans that were Blackhawks fans well before the Winter Classic, and they are fans that didn’t know about the Blackhawks before the Winter Classic back in 09, but that game signaled that the Chicago Blackhawks were officially out of the Dark Ages that had preceded that game.
The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t win that day in Wrigley, but they have won plenty since that game including 3 Stanley Cup Championships.
