The last few weeks have been quite joyous for the Blackhawks, with the lottery win and the selection of Connor Bedard. Unfortunately, we got some bad news yesterday .

Tragic news hit the hockey world as Rocky Wirtz, the principal owner and president of the Chicago Blackhawks, passed away at the age of 70, according to a reliable source.

Wirtz was instrumental in the success of both the hockey franchise and the family's liquor distribution company, Breakthru Beverage Group.

After his father's death in 2007, he took over as principal owner, leading the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cup victories and significantly expanding their brand. Under Wirtz's leadership, the Blackhawks flourished both on and off the ice, leaving behind a profound legacy in the world of sports.

Our deepest sympathies to family and friends.
