The Chicago Black Hawks is Chicago’s professional Hockey team, being in the Central Division and Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team is part of the Original Six NHL Teams, founded in 1926. The Black Hawks first few seasons were played inside the Chicago Coliseum, moving into the newly built Chicago Stadium in 1929. The Black Hawks became the Blackhawks in 1986, although Chicagoans will forever call them the Hawks. The team skated at the Stadium until 1994, when it moved into the then newly built United Center. The Chicago Blackhawks have won 6 Stanley Cups: 1934, 1938, 1961, 2010, 2013, and 2015.
