Chicago Blackhawks
Current Leadership
Owner & Chairman
Rocky Wirtz inherited the Chicago Blackhawks upon the death of his father, Bill Wirtz, in 2007. He immediately reversed his father's unpopular policies, putting home games on local television and embracing the team's storied history. The resulting renaissance saw the Blackhawks win three Stanley Cups in 2010, 2013, and 2015, restoring the franchise to its place among the NHL's elite.
CEO, Wirtz Corporation / Chicago Blackhawks
Danny Wirtz, Rocky's son, was named CEO of the Blackhawks in 2020 and leads the day-to-day business operations. He has overseen the team through a challenging period of rebuilding and cultural reckoning following the Kyle Beach scandal, working to reshape the organization's internal culture.

Historical Figures
Former Owner
Bill Wirtz controlled the Blackhawks for over four decades and was a powerful figure in league governance, but became deeply unpopular with Chicago fans for refusing to broadcast home games on television and for years of on-ice futility. He passed away in 2007, after which his son Rocky transformed the franchise.
