With tens of thousands of Blackhawks fans gathered at Soldier Field on Thursday afternoon, Pat Foley talked of a journey.
This particular story was about a particular player, and we’ll get to that later. But as the Blackhawks celebrated their third Stanley Cup in the past six seasons, the “journey” talk could have been about several few players or the team itself.
For Duncan Keith, it was coming full circle. The defenseman talked of an old trip home to British Columbia from Norfolk, Va., where he played for the Admirals at the time. That trip included a stop in Chicago and scalped Cubs tickets that left him with an obstructed view.
