Hockey ... in particular, Chicago Blackhawks Hockey

Chicago Blackhawks Fan, n. a follower of Chicago's NHL team, an organization once struggling under the monolithic ownership of one William Wirtz, a man who just about managed to destory an Original Six franchise.

Now, the tide has turned under the guidance of his son, Rocky. Miracles can happen...The return of Pat Foley to the TV booth, home games on television, Pat Kane, Jonathan Toews, Khabibulin finally showing up for every game, a team playing with some heart. Things are looking up.

Now if we can get a similar effort from of our hometown AHL team, the Quad City Flames, order will truly be restored in this hockey fan's universe. Check out the game-by-game commentary on Todd's Flames page.
