Chicago Blackhawks history
Founded in 1926, Chicago is one of the Original Six clubs, the group that also includes Detroit, Montreal, Toronto, Boston and the New York Rangers. Until 1986 the name was written as two words, Black Hawks, and many fans just say the Hawks. The team skated at Chicago Stadium for decades, and that building has since been torn down. Since the 1994-95 season, home has been the United Center, shared with the NBA's Chicago Bulls.
First owner Frederic McLaughlin was famous for firing coaches, yet he still saw Cups won in 1934 and 1938. After his death in 1944 the Norris family took control, and for a stretch the club was overshadowed by the Norris-owned Red Wings. James D. Norris took a hands-on role after 1952, and Chicago won another title in 1961. In all, the franchise has six Stanley Cups.
