Earlier this summer, longtime Blackhawks owner and CEO Rocky Wirtz died at the age of 70. His son Danny Wirtz has been named successor. Coming off years of controversy, losing seasons, and concern about the direction of the hockey team, Wirtz will be tasked with rebuilding trust and hope in the franchise. We break down the transfer of power with Crain’s Corli Jay and the Tribune’s Shakeia Taylor. They also talk with host Jacoby Cochran about a growing West Pullman vendor market, the Sky’s final push for the playoffs, and the Bears’ home opener against our ultimate rivals, the Green Bay Packers.
