Thousands celebrated the Blackhawks championship Friday at Grant Park. Some arrived with a group of friends. But one die-hard fan came alone. IPR’s Michael Puente reports:
Kathy Gormley says today’s celebration worked out perfectly.
GORMLEY: I’m so happy because Friday is my only day off.
Gormley says her parents first got her hooked on the Blackhawks.
GORMLEY: I can remember them watching TV when I was really little. Bobby Hull and all those guys. I’m aging myself.
But these new batch of Hawks, are hard to beat.
GORMLEY: Just these games between Boston is probably the best hockey I’ve ever watched on TV. It’s just fantastic.
Attendance at today’s celebration was expected to top 2 million.
