Go Blackhawks!...

The Stanley Cup finals start tonight.  In honor, here's one of my favorite Blackhawks related memories...

Growing up my dad would get hockey tickets from time-to-time.  I loved being at the games...the sounds, the excitement, the Zamboni.  I had all sorts of Hawks stuff.  One of my favorites was pajamas.  

Dad was a true morning person and I have never been a morning person.  Every morning I would shuffle past where my dad was sitting at the breakfast table.  He'd say 'good morning' in a far too cheerful voice and me, eyes barely open, would raise my hand in the slightest of acknowledgment.

One morning, as a I shuffled by in my Blackhawks pajamas, my dad let loose with a spirited "Here come the Hawks...the miiiiighty Blackhawks!"  Despite the early hour I actually smiled.




this is a cool video of old footage and the snazzy 'here come the Hawks' song!
