The Chicago Blackhawks have been in the NHL since the League came to the United States from Canada in 1926. Also joining the league that year were the New York Rangers, playing out of Madison Square Gardens, and the Detroit Cougars, who later became the Detroit Red Wings, the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. For nearly a quarter of a century the Chicago Blackhawks owned their division. Over the course of the 23 seasons from 1969-70 to 1992-93, the Chicago Blackhawks earned all 13 of the team’s division titles; 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1993. In all that time, however, they only won one Conference Championship. Of the team’s three Stanley Cup Championships, the most recent was won in 1961. The Chicago Blackhawks have not won in the playoffs since sweeping the Calgary Flames in the first round of the 1996 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. They have only been back to the playoffs once in the past decade, a five game quarterfinal loss to the St. Louis Blues in 2002. In 2007-08 the Blackhawks went 40 34 0 8 over the 82 game regular season, the club’s first winning season in five years and good enough for third in the Central Division but not good enough for the post-season. Just before the start of the 2008-09 season long time owner Arthur Wirtz passed away and the team went to his son, Rocky. A month later Chicago Blackhawks head coach Denis Savard was relieved of his head coaching duties. The new head coach is Joel Quenneville. Quenneville was a journeyman NHL player from the late Seventies to the early Nineties, playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Rockies, New Jersey Devils, Hartford Whalers and the Washington Capitals. As a coach, he was head coach for the AHL Springfield Indians and an assistant coach for the Quebec Nordiques and Colorado Avalanche before becoming an assistant to Mike Keenan in St. Louis. When Keenan was fired the next season, Quenneville replaced him. He led St. Louis into the playoffs seven consecutive years. He moved to the Avalanche in 2004, only to have the 2004-05 NHL season cancelled due to a labor dispute. In the 2005-06 season Quenneville coached the Avalanche into the playoffs and a first round upset of the Dallas Stars. He left the Avalanche after the completion of the team’s 2007-08 season. The Chicago Blackhawks are in the Central Division of the 3-division Western Conference of the National Hockey League. Awesomeseating.com offers cheap tickets and luxury tickets for all NHL teams.
