The newest Chicago Blackhawks received a warm welcome to the city.

Chicago had a drone show in front of the city skyline to celebrate the 2023 Blackhawks Draft Class that included No.1 overall pick Connor Bedard.

The drones, courtesy of Sky Elements, lit up to form various shapes that included the Blackhawks logo, their alternate logo and a player scoring a goal.

"Welcome to Chicago 2023 NHL Draft Class," the drones lit up in the skyline.

Looks like Chicago is ready for their new arrivals to light up the United Center.
