blackhawks

In case you hadn’t noticed, hockey’s Championship Series in on, and they’re playing for the Stanley Cup. It’s the Chicago Blackhawks vs. the Boston Bruins (go here for a photo appreciation), and Chicago in particular is nuts for their team, including this Art Institute lion, decked out in a badass black Blackhawk helmet.

On the following pages are some other reasons Chicagoans, and you, should be psyched for the Stanley Cup: the Boys of the Blackhawks, based purely on their appearance. We can talk more after we actually watch a game.
