Report: Blackhawks Building New Practice Home?
Crain’s is reporting Friday morning that the Blackhawks might follow the Bulls’ lead – and build a new practice facility.
According to the report, Rocky Wirtz is considering a 70,000 square foot, $30 million practice complex just northeast of the United Center. The Blackhawks currently practice at Johnny’s IceHouse West.
Also of note in the report, the United Center paid $20 million in amusement and parking taxes last year, and Wirtz indicated that each playoff game makes the city another $300,000.
Sweet! Hard to believe the Hawks games generate that amount of revenue for each game wow! On a completely separate note TT was voted prospect of the year by Hockeyfuture.com. It’s my go to site for minor league hockey and draft ratings. Go Hawks the future is bright!
THE RICH GET RICHER AND we poor get

That’s cool. We were 6 when Saader was in prospects, then 9. So to be 4 that’s really good.
