Controversy emerges online involving Chicago Blackhawks changing their team name

This controversy stretched back 2020 when the NFL Washington organization was forced to change their name to the Washington football team and then the Washington Commanders. This led to a flurry of other teams potentially changing their names yet the Blackhawks chose to keep their name.

This decision by the Wirtz family to keep the Blackhawks name was due to honoring a historical person of Illinois who was Black Hawk of Illinois SAC and Fox Nation. Originally, Blackhawks first owner Frederic McLaughlin who was a commander with the 86th infantry division was named the Blackhawk division after chief Black Hawk to which he named his team in 1926.

So it's safe to say the Blackhawks team name will remain and that this debate regarding the NHL organization has come to an end.
