In the runup to the unveiling of the NHL First and Second All-Decade Teams on Jan. 24, the NHL announced its best plays, moments, events, coaches and team of the 2010s.
There's no denying that
the Blackhawks were the league's top team of the decade 
and as such, recognition among the NHL's top moments of the decade is following.

Jan. 24 - All-Decade Team

Two key pieces of Chicago's dominant decade, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith, were named to the NHL's All-Decade Team, both among the First Team selections.

Jan. 22 - Goal of the Decade

Jan. 17 - Franchise of the Decade

More Stanley Cups than any other team and setting numerous NHL records along the way, the Blackhawks took the title as the Franchise of the Decade.

Jan. 16 - Coach of the Decade

As the man behind the bench of three Stanley Cup runs in five seasons, no NHL coach comes close to matching the on-ice success that Joel Quenneville saw in the early part of the decade. It's no surprise that 'Q' takes the title of the NHL's Coach of the Decade.
