Some of the many questions that this book answers include: * A Chicago star of the 1950s set an NHL record that may never be broken by scoring three goals in 21 seconds in a game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on March 23, 1952. Who is he? * Which Blackhawks legend appeared in the movies Wayne's World? and Wayne's World 2? * True or false: The National Football League once played its championship game in Chicago Stadium? * Patrick Kane set a franchise record in 2015-16 when he had at least one point in 26 consecutive games. Which Chicago Hall of Famer held the previous team record with a 21-game points streak? This book makes the perfect gift for any fan of the Hawks!
