When Al secord joined the Blackhawks in a trade with Boston in 1980, he would become part of one of the most explosive lines in Hawks history.  Secord teamed with Denis Savard and Steve Larmer to form the Party Line, and he had his best 2 seasons with them – In 1982, he recorded 44 goals and 300 penalty minutes. A year later, he scored 54 goals. Secord was eventually traded to Toronto, along with Eddie Olyczyk, but returned for a final season with the Hawks in 1990, and enjoyed a second career as a pilot for American Airlines.

Bill Wirtz owned the Chicago Blackhawks for 41 years. His tenure wasn’t without its controversies. Most notably not televising home games, thinking it was unfair to season ticket holders. Wirtz was blamed by the fan base for allowing Bobby Hull to leave for the WHA and for the trades of Jeremy Roenick, Phil Esposito and Ed Belfour. To those who knew Wirtz well, he was considered to be very generous and loyal. In fact, he established Blackhawk Charities, which has donated millions of dollars to the Boys and Girls Clubs over the years.
