The Chicago Blackhawks today announced the organization will host its first-ever fantasy camp, the Legends Cup, from March 22 - 24 at MB Ice Arena and the United Center. Over the course of the three-day tournament, participants will be treated to the ultimate pro hockey experience.
The Legends Cup is an opportunity for adult hockey players to compete alongside Blackhawks Alumni including Denis Savard, Chris Chelios, Jamal Mayers, Brian Campbell, Ben Eager, Scott Foster and many more. As part of one of the four teams - Team Savard, Team Esposito, Team Hull and Team Mikita - participants are guaranteed to compete in four games as well as one practice and video session. Multiple Blackhawks alumni will play on each team, accompanied by a celebrity coach, in the battle to win the inaugural Legends Cup.
In addition to receiving pro-quality hockey gear including personalized home and away jerseys, socks, gloves, pants shell and helmet, Legends Cup participants will also have access to a number of additional exclusive experiences:
- Private watch party in the Blackhawks facilities at MB Ice Arena, the team's practice rink, for the March 23 game at Colorado
- Ticket to the March 24 game vs. Colorado Avalanche at the United Center in the Bud Light Suite
- Personalized locker rooms for each team, and trainers and equipment staff on hand for entirety of weekend
- Trophy celebration after the championship game, which will also feature player interviews, play-by-play, introductions and music
- Professional photographs and videos documenting the experience
All proceeds from the Legends Cup will benefit the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation to provide scholarships for youth hockey players. As the official charity of the Chicago Blackhawks, the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation provides programming and resources to help grow the game we love while also creating a healthier, smarter, more secure world for families in and around Chicago.
Meals and accommodations - including a four-night hotel stay and transportation to all camp events - are included in this all-inclusive experience. Participants must be at least 21 years of age. Space is limited, and registration will close when the four teams are filled. Individuals looking for more information or to sign up to participate should visit blackhawks.com/legendscup.
