Officially the Blackhawks season begins Thursday, Oct. 4th against the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
BUT … if you just can’t wait that long to see some of your favorite Blackhawks then you may want to check out the Chicago Hockey Charity Classic.
The event is a charity hockey game that is being put on by Illinois native Topher Scott. Scott played locally for organizations such as the Chicago Young Americans before playing for the Chicago Steel of the USHL and capping off an impressive amateur career with four years at Cornell University.
The goal of the event is to raise $100K for Special Olympics Chicago by putting together a game full of local hockey celebrities shown below.
