Chicago Blackhawks ticket and team info

The United Center, filled to capacity with Chicago Blackhawks ticket holders, is one of the best places to see one of the Original Six franchises play some bone-crushing ice hockey.  Conveniently located on Chicago's West Side, the United Center is also home to the Chicago Bulls, and is the site of the famous statue of Michael Jordan.  Make sure you take a minute to walk around to the east side of the arena and take a gander at it before you head inside to root on the Blackhawks. 

The Star
Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin will be the Chicago Blackhawks ticket to the championship, if everything goes right.  The mighty Russian goalminder known as the "Bulin Wall" is the highest-paid goalie in the NHL, and with good reason: he's one of the best in the league.  He led the Tampa Bay Lightning to a Stanley Cup Championship in 2004, and although he was injured for much of last season, he is back this year, and looking to prove his worth to the fans and the team.  He's been to the All-Star game four times in his career, and there is no doubt he will be making his fifth trip this year.

The Coach
Behind the bench, Chicago Blackhawks ticket holders are always glad to see former Blackhawks defenseman Trent Yawney at head coach.  He's popular with both the players and the fans, as well as the team management.  Even though the Blackhawks struggled last season, everyone has faith that Yawney can right the ship this year, especially now that Khabibulin is healthy in front of the net.  Don't let last year's finish fool you: Yawney showed himself graceful under fire in his first season, and has prepared his team well in order
