WASHINGTON, D.C. –-(ENEWSPF)–June 19, 2015. U.S. Senators Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) today announce that the Senate formally congratulated the 2015 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks by unanimously passing a resolution the Senators introduced earlier this week.
“For the first time in 77 years the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on home ice, clinching their third championship in six years,” Kirk said. “The team’s outstanding season is a reflection of the players’ hard work and the dedication of the entire Blackhawks organization. Congratulations on an impressive playoff run and thank you for bringing the Cup back where it belongs!”
“The goal of every team each year in the NHL is to hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup, but only one earns the right to do it,” said Durbin. “This week, the Chicago Blackhawks realized their mantra “One Goal,” and brought the Stanley Cup home to Chicago. Congratulations to the players, staff, and the best fans in all of hockey on this triumph.”
