The 9th Annual Blackhawks Convention, proudly sponsored by Magellan Corporation for the 4th consecutive year, was held July 15-17, 2016, at the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue.
The three day convention is the stuff that dreams are made of for the avid Hawks fan -- and thousands clambered to avail themselves of the meet and greet sessions with players, coaches, alumni and staff, the special hockey clinics, an exclusive kids-only press conference, a Blackhawks Second City Improv show, and various panels and unique opportunities throughout the weekend. One lucky fan even won a chance to play ping pong against Niklas Hjalmarsson.
The Blackhawks, with some of the fiercest and most loyal fans in professional sports, have been a Chicago stalwart since 1926, and have won six Stanley Cup Championships since their founding.
Guests of Magellan were treated to a private banquet with Blackhawks players, coaches, alumni and staff. During this once in a lifetime opportunity guests were able to mingle with the Blackhawks, take pictures and get autographs.
