Franchise history

Founding

The Chicago Black Hawks joined the NHL in 1926 as part of the league's successful foray into United States-based teams. The 1926–27 NHL season was the tenth season of the National Hockey League. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the They were founded by coffee tycoon Frederic McLaughlin. Frederic McLaughlin ( June 27, 1877 – December 17, 1944) was the first Owner of the Chicago Black Hawks. Most of the Hawks' original players came from the Portland Rosebuds of the Western Canada Hockey League, which had folded the previous season. The Portland Rosebuds name was used by two professional men's Ice hockey teams based in Portland Oregon. The Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL, founded in 1921, was a major professional Ice hockey league originally based in the prairies of Canada

McLaughlin had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. The 86th Infantry Division was a unit of the United States Army in World War I and World War II. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division", after a Native American of the Sauk nation, Chief Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois. Black Hawk or Black Sparrow Hawk ( Sauk Makataimeshekiakiak ( Mahkatewi-meši-kehkehkwa) "be a large black hawk" (1767 &ndash McLaughlin evidently named the hockey team in honour of the military unit, making it one of many sports team names using Native Americans as icons. For indigenous peoples in the United States other than Hawaii and Alaska see also Native Americans in the United States. For many years, the name was spelled primarily "Black Hawks", but sometimes "Blackhawks", even by the club itself. This ambiguity was finally settled in the summer of 1986 when the club officially decided on the one-word version based on the spelling found in the original franchise documents.

McLaughlin took a very active role in running the team despite knowing very little about hockey. For most of his tenure as owner, he served as his own general manager.

1926–1938

The Hawks' first season was a moderate success, with the forward line of Mickey MacKay, Babe Dye, and Dick Irvin each finishing near the top of the league's scoring race. A Forward is a hockey player position on the Ice whose responsibility is primarily offensive. Duncan McMillan "Mickey" MacKay ( May 21, 1894 in Chesley Ontario – May 21, 1940 was a Canadian professional Ice Cecil Henry "Babe" Dye ( May 13, 1898 – January 2, 1962) was a Canadian Professional hockey James Dickinson "Dick" Irvin ( Sr) ( July 19, 1892 – May 15, 1957 was a Canadian Ice hockey player The Black Hawks lost their 1927 first-round playoff series to the Boston Bruins, who had made the playoffs for the first time ever. The 1926–27 NHL season was the tenth season of the National Hockey League. The Boston Bruins are a professional Ice hockey team based in Boston Massachusetts. The Blackhawks were considered the worst team in the NHL at that time.

Following the series, McLaughlin fired head coach Pete Muldoon. Pete Muldoon (1881 &ndash March 6 1929 born Linton Muldoon Tracy, was a Canadian Ice hockey pioneer in the Western United States, particularly known According to Jim Coleman, sportswriter for the Toronto Globe and Mail, McLaughlin felt the 'Hawks were good enough to finish first.

At the time, finishing in first place was considered to be as much of an achievement as winning the greatly coveted Stanley Cup. The Stanley Cup (La Coupe Stanley is an Ice hockey club championship Trophy, awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL playoffs champion According to Coleman, Muldoon responded by yelling, "Fire me, Major, and you'll never finish first. I'll put a curse on this team that will hoodoo it until the end of time. " The Curse of Muldoon was born, and became one of the first widely-known sports "curses". The Curse of Muldoon was a phenomenon that supposedly prevented the Chicago Black Hawks (the team's name at the time of the National Hockey League from finishing While the team would win three Stanley Cups, they would do so without having finished in first place either in a multi- or single-division format.

The 'Hawks proceeded to have the worst record in the league in 1927–28. The 1927–28 NHL season was the eleventh season of the National Hockey League. By 1931, the 'Hawks reached their first Stanley Cup Final, with goal-scorer Johnny Gottselig, Cy Wentworth on defense, and Charlie Gardiner in goal, but fizzled in the final two games against the Montreal Canadiens. The 1930–31 NHL season was the fourteenth season of the National Hockey League. Johnny Gottselig ( Джонни Готтселиг; born 24 June, 1906 in Odessa, Russia - May 15, 1986) Marvin "Cyclone" Wentworth ( Jan 24, 1905 – Oct 10 1982) was a Canadian hockey player born in Grimsby, Defence ( defense in the USA in Ice hockey is a player position whose primary responsibility is to prevent the opposing team from scoring.

1938 Cup Win

In 1938 the Black Hawks had a record of 14–25, and only barely made the playoffs. The 1937–38 NHL season was the 21st season of the National Hockey League (NHL They stunned the Canadiens and New York Americans on overtime goals in the deciding games of both series, advancing to the Final against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Alfie Moore ( December 1, 1904 in Toronto, Ontario – 1984 was a professional Ice hockey player who played 21 games in the National Moore played one game and won it. When the Black Hawks attempted to repeat this with another goalie, that didn't work and they lost. However, for Games 3 and 4, Karakas was fitted with a special skate to protect his injured toe, and won both games. It was too late for Toronto, as the Hawks won their second championship. The 1938 Black Hawks Cup champions remain the team with the poorest regular season record ever to win the Stanley Cup.

The Original Six era

The Black Hawks got back to the Final in 1944 behind Bill Mosienko and Doug Bentley's 30-goal seasons and their linemate Clint Smith leading the league in assists. The 1938 Stanley Cup Finals were held from April 5 to April 12, 1938 in a best-of-five series between the Chicago Black Hawks and the Toronto The 1943–44 NHL season was the 27th season of the National Hockey League. William "Bill" Mosienko ( November 2, 1921 in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada – July 9, 1994) was a Canadian Douglas Wagner Bentley (Born - September 3, 1916 in Delisle, Saskatchewan Died - November 24 1972 in Saskatoon Clinton James "Clint" Smith (born December 12, 1913) was a Canadian Professional Hockey Forward in the National After upsetting the Red Wings in the semifinals, they were promptly dispatched by the dominant Canadiens in four games. Mosienko still holds the record for quickest hat trick, 21 seconds, in the NHL, but Habs star Maurice "The Rocket" Richard proved to be Mosienko's better. A hat-trick in Sports is associated with succeeding at anything three times in three consecutive attempts The Hon Joseph Henri Maurice "Rocket" Richard PC OC OQ ( August 4, 1921 &ndash May 27

Owner and founder Frederic McLaughlin died in 1944. His estate sold the team to a syndicate headed by longtime team president Bill Tobin. However, Tobin was only a puppet for Red Wings owner James E. Norris, who had been the Black Hawks' landlord since his 1936 purchase of Chicago Stadium. James E Norris ( December 10, 1879 – December 4, 1952) was a Canadian - American businessman operating companies in the The Chicago Stadium was a famed and historic indoor sports arena in Chicago Illinois. For the next eight years, the Norris-Tobin ownership, as a rule, paid almost no attention to the Black Hawks. Nearly every trade between Detroit and Chicago ended up being Red Wing heists. As a result, for the next several years, Chicago was the model of futility in the NHL. Between 1945 and 1958, they only made the playoffs twice. The 1944–45 NHL season was the 28th season of the National Hockey League. The 1957–58 NHL season was the 41st season of the National Hockey League.

Upon the death of James E. Norris, Norris' eldest son, James D. Norris, and Red Wings minority owner Arthur Wirtz (the senior Norris's original partner in buying the Red Wings 23 years earlier) took over the floundering club. James Dougan Norris ( November 6, 1906 – February 25, 1966) was an American sports businessman with interests in boxing ice hockey Arthur Michael Wirtz ( January 23 1901 &ndash July 21 1983) was a powerful figure in sports and arena operation They guided it through financial reverses, and rebuilt the team from there. One of their first moves was to hire Tommy Ivan, former Detroit coach and GM, as general manager. Thomas N Ivan ( January 31, 1911 – June 25, 1999) was a NHL head coach for the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Black

In the late 1950s, the Hawks struck gold, picking up three young prospects, forwards Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita, and defenseman Pierre Pilote, as well as obtaining star goaltender Glenn Hall and veteran forward Ted Lindsay, co-organizer of the original NHL Players Association, who'd just had a career season (30 goals-55 assists), from Detroit. Robert Marvin "Bobby" Hull OC (born January 3, 1939 is a retired Canadian Ice hockey player Stanislav "Stan" Mikita (born May 20 1940) is a Slovak born Canadian retired professional Ice hockey player generally Joseph Albert Pierre Paul Pilote (born December 11, 1931 in Kénogami, Quebec) was a Canadian Professional Ice hockey Glenn Henry "Mr Goalie" Hall (born October 3, 1931 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, Canada) is a Robert Blake Theodore "Ted" Lindsay (born July 29 1925 is a former professional Ice hockey forward who played for the Detroit Red Wings and Hull, Mikita, Pilote, and Hall would become preeminent stars, and all would eventually make the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Hockey Hall of Fame ( Temple de la renommée du hockey in French) is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

After two first-round exits at the hands of the eventual champions from Montreal in 1959 and 1960, it was expected that the Canadiens would once again beat the Hawks when they met in the semifinals in 1961. Montreal, or Montréal in French ( pronounced in French, in English) is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec The 1958–59 NHL season was the 42nd season of the National Hockey League. The 1959–60 NHL season was the 43rd season of the National Hockey League. The 1960–61 NHL season was the 44th season of the National Hockey League. A defensive plan that completely wore down Montreal's superstars did the trick though, as Chicago won the series in six games. They then bested the Wings to win their third (and, as of 2008, most recent) Stanley Cup championship. In the 25 years of the Original Six era, this was the only time a team other than Montreal, Toronto or Detroit won the Cup. For the first ships of the United States Navy, see Six original United States frigates.

The Hawks made the Cup finals twice more in the 1960s, losing to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1962 and the Habs in 1965. "Leafs" and "Maple Leafs" redirect here For the former American Hockey League team see St The 1961–62 NHL season was the 45th season of the National Hockey League (NHL The 1964–65 NHL season was the 48th season of the National Hockey League. Chicago remained a force to be reckoned with throughout the decade, with Hull's four 50-goal seasons, Mikita winning back-to-back scoring titles and MVP accolades, Pilote winning three consecutive Norris Trophies, and Hall being named the First or Second All-Star goaltender eight out of nine seasons. The James Norris Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the National Hockey League 's top " defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round Hull and Mikita especially were widely regarded as the most feared one-two punch in the league. However, despite a strong supporting cast which included Bill Hay, Ken Wharram, Phil Esposito, Moose Vasko, Doug Mohns and Pat Stapleton, the Hawks never quite put it all together.

In 1967, the last season of the six-team NHL, the Hawks finished first, breaking the supposed Curse of Muldoon, 23 years after the death of Frederic McLaughlin. The 1966–67 NHL season was the 50th season of the National Hockey League. However, they lost in the semifinals to Toronto, who went on to win the Stanley Cup. Afterward, Coleman, who first printed the story of the curse in 1943, admitted that he made the story up to break a writer's block he had as a column deadline approached.

The expansion era

Hall left for the expansion St. Louis Blues for the 1967–68 season. The St Louis Blues are a professional Ice hockey team based in St The 1967–68 NHL season was the 51st season of the National Hockey League. Pilote left for the Maple Leafs for the 1968–69 season. The 1968–69 NHL season was the 52nd season of the National Hockey League. In that season, despite Hull breaking his own previous record of 54 goals in a season with 58, the Black Hawks missed the playoffs for the first time since 1958—and the last time before 1998. The 1997–98 NHL season was the 81st Regular season of the National Hockey League.

In 1967, the Black Hawks made a trade with the Boston Bruins that turned out to be one of the most one-sided in the history of the sport. The Boston Bruins are a professional Ice hockey team based in Boston Massachusetts. Chicago sent young forwards Esposito, Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield to Boston in exchange for Pit Martin, Jack Norris and Gilles Marotte. Kenneth Raymond Hodge Sr (born June 25, 1944, Birmingham, England) is a retired hockey player for the NHL Boston Frederick William Stanfield (born May 4, 1944 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a former Professional Ice hockey left Hubert Jacques "Pit" Martin (Born - December 9, 1943 in Rouyn-Noranda Quebec) is a retired Canadian professional Ice hockey centre Jack Wayne Norris (b August 5, 1942 in Delisle Saskatchewan) is a former professional Ice hockey Goaltender. Gilles Marotte ( January 7, 1945 – July 26, 2005)was a Canadian defenceman in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins While Martin would star for the Hawks for many seasons, Esposito, Hodge, and Stanfield would lead the Bruins to the top of the league for several years and capture two Stanley Cups. In Boston, Phil Esposito set numerous scoring records en route to a career as one of the NHL's all-time greats.

Nonetheless, in 1971, life was made easier for Chicago, as in an attempt to better balance the divisions, the expansion Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks were both placed in the East Division, while the Hawks moved into the West Division. The 1970–71 NHL season was the 54th season of the National Hockey League. The Buffalo Sabres are a professional Ice hockey team based in Buffalo New York. The Vancouver Canucks are a Professional Ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The East Division of the National Hockey League existed from 1967, when the NHL was made up of a single division until 1974 when the league realigned its The West Division of the National Hockey League existed from 1967, when the NHL was made up of a single division until 1974 when the league realigned its They became the class of the West overnight, rampaging to a 46–17–15 record and an easy first-place finish. With second-year goalie Tony Esposito (Phil's younger brother and winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy for Rookie of the Year the previous season), Hull, his younger brother Dennis, Mikita, and sterling defensemen Stapleton and Bill White, the Hawks reached the Stanley Cup final before bowing out to the Canadiens. For the Italian The Calder Memorial Trophy is an annual award given "to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition in the National Hockey League Dennis "William" Hull (born November 19 1944 in Pointe Anne (now part of Belleville Ontario) Canada is a retired Professional William Earl "Bill" White (born August 26 1939 is a retired Canadian Ice hockey player and coach one of the most notable defensive defensemen Montreal veteran Henri Richard admitted later, "I could have been a bum, and instead, I was a hero.

A critical blow to the franchise came in 1972, though, with the start of the World Hockey Association. The 1972–73 NHL season was the 56th season of the National Hockey League. The World Hockey Association (French Association Mondiale de Hockey) was a professional Ice hockey league that operated in North America from 1972 Long dissatisfied with how little he was paid as the league's marquee star, Bobby Hull jumped to the upstart Winnipeg Jets for a million-dollar contract. The Winnipeg Jets were a professional Hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Former Philadelphia Flyers star Andre Lacroix, who received very little ice time in his single season in Chicago, joined Hull, and the pair became two of the WHA's great stars. The Philadelphia Flyers are a professional Ice hockey team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Hawks repeated their appearance in Cup Final that year, however, again losing to Montreal. Stapleton left for the WHA too after that year, depleting the team further.

While the team led or was second in the West Division for four straight seasons, for the rest of the 1970s, the Black Hawks made the playoffs each year but were never a successful Stanley Cup contender, losing 16 straight playoff games at one point. The team acquired legendary blueliner Bobby Orr from the Boston Bruins in 1976, but ill health forced him to sit out for most of the season, and he eventually retired in 1979, having played only 26 games for the Hawks. Robert Gordon "Bobby" Orr OC (born March 20 1948 in Parry Sound, Ontario) is a retired Canadian Ice hockey defenseman The Boston Bruins are a professional Ice hockey team based in Boston Massachusetts. Stan Mikita did the same the following year after playing 22 years in Chicago, the third-longest career for a single team in league history.

By 1982, the Black Hawks squeaked into the playoffs as the 4th seed in the Norris Division (at the time the top four teams in each division automatically made the playoffs), and were one of the league's Cinderella teams that year. The 1981–82 NHL season was the 65th season of the National Hockey League. Led by second-year Denis Savard's 32 goals and 119 points and Doug Wilson's 39 goals, the Hawks stunned the Minnesota North Stars and Blues in the playoffs before losing to another surprise team, the Vancouver Canucks, who made the Stanley Cup Finals. Denis Joseph Savard (born February 4 1961 is a Canadian former Hall of Fame professional Ice hockey player in the National Hockey League from 1980 Douglas Wilson (born July 5, 1957 in Ottawa, Ontario) was a Canadian Professional Ice hockey defenceman. The Minnesota North Stars were a professional Ice hockey team in the National Hockey League (NHL for 26 seasons from 1967 to 1993. The Vancouver Canucks are a Professional Ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Chicago proved they were no fluke the next season, also making the third round before losing to the eventual runner-up Edmonton Oilers. The Edmonton Oilers are a professional Ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. After an off-year in 1984, the Hawks again faced a now fresh-off-a-ring Edmonton offensive juggernaut of a team and lost in the third round in 1985. The 1983–84 NHL season was the 67th season of the National Hockey League. Edmonton (ˈɛdmɨntɨn is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. The 1984–85 NHL season was the 68th season of the National Hockey League.

In 1986, while going through the team's records, someone discovered the team's original NHL contract, and found that the name "Blackhawks" was printed as a compound word as opposed to two separate words ("Black Hawks") which was the way most sources had been printing it and as the team had always officially listed it. The 1985–86 NHL season was the 69th season of the National Hockey League. The name officially became "Chicago Blackhawks" from that point on.

In the late 1980s, Chicago still made the playoffs on an annual basis, but made early-round exits each time.

In 1989, after three straight first-round defeats, and despite a fourth-place finish in their division in the regular season, Chicago made it to the Conference Final in the rookie seasons of both goalie Ed Belfour and center Jeremy Roenick. The 1988–89 NHL season was the 72nd season of the National Hockey League. For the Walt Disney Pictures film about Jim Morris, see The Rookie (2002 movie. Edward John Belfour (born April 21, 1965 in Carman, Manitoba, Canada) is a former Canadian professional Ice hockey Jeremy James Roenick (born January 17, 1970, in Boston Massachusetts, United States) is a professional Ice hockey player currently Once again though, they would fail to make the Stanley Cup Final, losing to the eventual champion Calgary Flames. The Calgary Flames are a Professional Ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The following season the Hawks did prove they were late-round playoff material, running away with the Norris Division title, but, yet again, the third round continued to stymie them, this time against the Oilers, despite 1970s Soviet star goaltender Vladislav Tretiak coming to Chicago to become the Blackhawks' goaltender coach.

Game 1 saw the Blackhawks squander leads of 3–0 and 4–1, and would eventually be beaten 5–4 after a Lemieux power-play goal with 9 seconds remaining in regulation. The Blackhawks most lackluster game was Game 2, losing 3–1. A frustrating loss of 1–0 followed in game 3, and a natural hat trick from Dirk Graham and stellar play from Dominik Hasek (who showed indications of the goaltender he would later become) could not secure a win in game 4, which ended in 6–5 final in favor of Pittsburgh.
