Chicago is Hockeytown

Hockey never really left Chicago, but I'd say it's back and bigger than ever. With Toews, Kane, Sharp and Havlat, the hawks definitely have the skills to put pucks in the back of the net.

I had the pleasure of going to the game on Sunday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Hawks pulled off a surprising 3-1 victory despite some very sloppy play in the 1st and 2nd periods. The crowd was electric! It was awesome to see such a rowdy crowd supporting hockey in the US. It may not of matched the atmosphere at a Calgary game, but it was definitely better than some arenas in Canada...

Also, the Hawks and Red Wings will go at it during this year's installment of the NHL Winter Classic at Chicago Cub's Wrigley Field. I got the sense that this city is pumped about the Winter Classic and the upswing their team has been on in recent months. Keep it up Chicago!
