Chicago was awarded a franchise by the National Hockey League on May 15, 1926. Which means the Chicago Blackhawks will celebrate their 100th anniversary during the 2025-26 season. On Thursday — the team’s 99th birthday — the organization announced a series of events to mark the centennial.

But there’s one big piece to the celebration that’s got me really excited.

Finally, there will be a Blackhawks Hall of Fame. It will be based on a fan vote, which is open now at blackhawks.com/HOF.
