    Boston University College of General Studies Collegi anFall 2008 Chicago’s Hockey Savior It may be a team sport, but fans credit one man with reigniting a city’s love of ice hockey. BY ANDREW THURSTON Chicago loves sports. The natives jam into Wrigley Field for the Cubs, pack U.S. Cellular Field for the White Sox, fill up Soldier Field for the Bears, and squeeze into United Center for the Bulls. Chicago’s National Hockey League (NHL) team, the Blackhawks, has had a trickier time selling seats. And that’s being polite. For the last ten years, maybe means the type of owner who’s going to throw in enough money more, Chicago had been falling out of love with its Blackhawks. to bring the Stanley Cup back to Chicago; beyond that, it’s some - That was until W. Rockwell “Rocky” Wirtz (’73) came along. one who’s prepared to shake things up front-of-house. Wirtz is It’s barely a year since he took over the franchise in October 2007, that man—he’s applying the lessons of some 25 years at the top and already the love is back. Attendance is up by around a third, of the business world to reinvent a sports franchise. The old man - and a decade-long losing streak has been broken with a winning agement hierarchy has been dismantled, replaced by new faces and season. Chicago cares about NHL again and, though he’s too slick marketing moves; even the traditional game-time organ modest to admit it, there’s only one name on the lips of fans: music has been scaled back in favor of contemporary tunes.

  • A Lineage of Ownership Arthur Wirtz the Blackhawks Are on the Third Generation of Wirtz Family Leadership
    A lineage of ownership Arthur Wirtz The Blackhawks are on the third generation of Wirtz family leadership. Arthur Wirtz bought into the team in the 1940s and (deceased) died in 1983. Arthur’s son, Bill Wirtz, ran the franchise until his death in 2007. Rocky Wirtz, 60, took over from there. As the Wirtz Corp. has passed down, its stakes continue to be divided. The face of the franchise, Rocky, owns about 5 percent.

  • From “Red Rising” to “One Goal” a Case Study of the Chicago Blackhawks’
    From “Red Rising” to “One Goal” A Case Study of the Chicago Blackhawks’ Organizational Resurgence from 2007-2009 In the early 2000’s, the Chicago Blackhawks had practically disappeared from the professional sports scene in Chicago. Ranked 29th out of 30 teams in the NHL in attendance, racking up $191 million dollars in losses, and blacked out from television, the Blackhawks were in desperate need of an entire organizational revolution. The team’s unique and dire situation was brought on by damaging human resource practices, a misguided fan philosophy, and a culture that valued making excuses and making money over winning a championship. Fans’ trust in the organization was at an all-time low. But, in 2007, a change in ownership led to a sweeping transformation in the organizational culture, bringing the fan’s needs back to the forefront. It was not one factor, but rather, the integrated cohesion of multiple actions, decisions, and initiatives focused around a central mission that led to the Blackhawks’ revolution. The franchise understood their position and their fans and created an organizational structure that supported each of these changes and new philosophies, transforming the Blackhawks from the second city’s fifth team into one of the most beloved sports franchises in Chicago. 4/9/2014 0 Table of Contents Introduction .................................................................................................................................................. 1 Methods .......................................................................................................................................................

  • Not for Citation
    Trust and Antitrust: The Failure of the First National Hockey League Players’ Association, 1957–1958 J. Andrew Ross Based on National Hockey League club and league correspondence, congressional transcripts, newspapers, and government documents, this essay examines the first attempt to organize a National Hockey League Players’ Association. For just over a year, the NHLPA struggled to overcome the resistance of NHL owners, the uncertainty of its own members, and the confusing legal environment created by overlapping transnational, interstate, and inter-provincial jurisdictions. These issues make the NHLPA a compelling case study of the way in which the borders between business and sport began to shift in the 1950s, a time when new forces—technological (television), legal (congressional investigation and judicial decisions), and social (player activism)—were preparing the way for the struggle for free agency. In its Federal Baseball Club v. National League decision (1922), the United States Supreme Court concluded that professional baseball was exempt from antitrust legislation because it was not engaged in interstate commerce.1 This decision and its implicit extension to other ―major league‖ North American sports—football, basketball, and hockey—has attracted the attention of many scholars who have noted its profound effects on the 1 Federal Base Ball Club of Baltimore, Inc. v. National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs et al., 259 U.S. 200 (1922). The argument was that baseball was not interstate commerce, a requirement for the application of the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890). For a recent commentary on this decision, see Samuel A. Alito, Jr., ―The Origins of the Baseball Antitrust Exemption: Federal Baseball Club of Baltimore, Inc.
