Original Post June 17, 2015 / Knowing that millions of Chicago Blackhawks fans will be preoccupied on Throw Back Thursday (TBT) with the Stanley Cup victory parade “worthy of a dynasty,” we used our handy search tool to check for “Hawks” photos in our picture archive, mindful of the two other Stanley Cup victories in 2010 and 2013.
Much to our surprise, we discovered folks before and after the last two Stanley Cup victories celebrating around town in Hawks spirit gear and pitching framed commemorative items at fundraising auctions.
Just for the fun of it, we’re sharing some of those “throw back” photos here, above and below, on a Wednesday in time for folks to begin securing free tickets online for Thursday’s rally at Soldier Field.
