Hmm.... I assumed it to be a local american indian tribe. It's not?

1812 - The first settlers of what is now Mokena were a band of Blackhawk Indians traveling from Chicago to Joliet in 1812. They brought crude tools and a well- developed skill for building shelters and within a few years founded what is now known as Blackhawk Construction, Blackhawk Paving, and Blackhawk Properties LLC The name Mokena traces its roots to a Blackhawk word roughly translated carry- out pizza.

actually...

The Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League are indirectly named after Chief Black Hawk. The Blackhawks' first owner, Frederic McLaughlin, was a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division" after Chief Black Hawk. McLaughlin named the hockey team in honor of the military unit.

Winna! bj
So many people think they are named after the Chief or the tribe.

Sort of like our Mustangs...named after the plane, not the horse.

I tend to agree with you, but since it's been almost 50 years since we did, I'll be cautious about it..

Hell with it, Damn the Hawks look good!! We're gonna do it :10

 

[KBMWRS]

Yes the Blackhawks should win the CUP this year.

They are my second team since I grew up actually listening to Loyd Petit on the radio announce the games. Yeah I'm that old....and the fact that old man Wirtz wouldn't show the games on TV.

I guess I'm old too, I remember that!
