Blackhawks to host public visitation for Stan Mikita at United Center

The Chicago Blackhawks will host a public visitation for legend Stan Mikita from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday inside the United Center Atrium, the team announced Wednesday.

Mikita, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, died Tuesday. He was 78.

Mikita played for 22 seasons with Chicago, from 1958 to 1980, and was a member of the 1961 Stanley Cup championship team. He also was an eight-time All-Star, two-time Hart Trophy winner as league MVP and member of the 1983 Hockey Hall of Fame class.

Stan’s family didn’t have to do this, but they recognize what a special part of this hockey community he was.
