Blackhawks Detail 2025-26 Centennial Celebration Plans

The Chicago Blackhawks will celebrate their 100th anniversary during the 2025-26 NHL season with a centennial campaign themed 'Always An Original,' divided into four chapters that highlight different eras of the franchise: The Originals, The Madhouse, The Banner Years, and The Next Originals. Each chapter features special events, storytelling, and a capstone game with pregame ceremonies, historic artifact displays, and alumni appearances. The season includes 17 giveaways, among them seven bobblehead nights honoring legends such as Stan Mikita, Tony Esposito, and Denis Savard, with the first 8,000 fans at each capstone game receiving a themed bobblehead. The festivities kick off October 11 with a red carpet home opener against the Montreal Canadiens and the debut of the centennial jersey. The team will also honor its first Blackhawks Hall of Fame class at a later date. Single-game tickets go on sale in early September, and a full promotional schedule is available online.
