The Stanley Cup is the trophy that fans cannot wait to see. Out of all other championship trophies in sports, the Stanley Cup is one of a kind. Each season teams play for months for an opportunity to have their name engraved on a trophy, then after one summer they give it back and start all over again. The Chicago Blackhawks won their fourth championship 11 years ago today.

The Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews era of Blackhawks hockey has been known for winning, but that had to start somewhere.
