On this day in 1995, the Chicago Blackhawks named Chris Chelios as their captain.
Chelios was an important player for the team and led the Blackhawks with a lot of heart and hard work. His leadership helped make the team stronger and more competitive while he was captain.
This was a big moment for the Blackhawks, and was now made 29 years ago today.
Now in 2024, the Blackhawks don't have a captain. People are speculating wonder if Connor Bedard, the youngest player in Blackhawks history to be named captain?
Bedard's off-ice PR has improved this off-season, it would be a surprise to many if he took on the role at such a young age.
