The Chicago Blackhawks Alumni Association does great work in the Chicago area community. Any event they are involved in is always a good time.
Last summer, I went one of their events at the same rink. It was so much fun and I got to meet a bunch of former Blackhawks including Murray Bannerman & Troy Murray. Plus, I got to be the announcer for the event.
The Fox Valley Ice Arena only seats 3,000, so don't wait too long to purchase tickets. It will sell out quickly.
