Just Like We Always Have💯 | Chicago Blackhawks
You want to know what we’ve been doing for 100 years? We haven’t just been playing hockey. We’ve been taking hockey and turning it inside out. When every goalie stood upright like they were waiting for a bus, Glenn Hall said, “What if I just dropped to my knees?” The butterfly style was born right here in Chicago. Today, every goalie in the world plays like a Blackhawk. When stick blades were straight. when everyone said they had to be straight. Stan Makita curved his like a banana. We invented the gold horn, the organ first to broadcast games on national TV. The list goes on and on. You see what I’m getting at here? We didn’t wait around for hockeyy’s future like everyone else. We created it in a city that builds what the world has never seen. The skyscraper, the cell phone, the ferris wheels. Twinkies, the freaking zipper. We do the same thing on ice. For a hundred years, we haven’t just been participating in hockey history. We’ve been actively shaping, finding new ways, breaking new ground, innovating, pioneering, original, just like we always have, just like we always will.
For 100 years we haven’t been just participating in hockey, we’ve been actively shaping it.
Tonight, we celebrate the team’s revolutionary contributions that transformed hockey forever. From introducing the first goal horn to game-changing playing techniques, The Originals spotlights the visionary players and leaders whose ingenuity and willingness to challenge convention established the Blackhawks.
Innovating. Pioneering. Originating. Just like we always have. Just like we always will.

St Louis sucks
Keep up the good work 🙂
"First to broadcast on national TV" is no longer a flex with this organization. I still love you and thankfully there are ways to "watch".
found out about hockey around 58-59 in 8th grade listening to it on the radio. back then it was just AM stations, a lot of them went off the air on Sunday night. i was looking for a station to listen to music when i got on a station with a Hawks game. i started listening to the announcer, i think it was Lloyd Petit. i was mesmerized by the excitement in his voice calling the playbyplay. i've been hooked ever since, retired in Az. now i get NHL center ice, so i can watch my Hawks and hockey in general every night…
