Seeing all of the Blackhawks amenities and logos scattered throughout the building cements the idea that MB Ice Arena is home to the club, and not just for visitors and fans.
For many of the prospects at Development Camp, this was a 'welcome to the NHL' moment.
"It's been even better than what I could dream of," 2018 third-round draft pick Jake Wise said. "Everything's so first class here and I've never been used to - like they handled our bag for us when we got here, and I've always had to bring my bag to the rink and unpack it, so seeing them do that that was the first thing I really noticed. It's just awesome."
In addition to the Blackhawks, MB Ice Arena also has a number of youth league tenants that call it home for their seasons.
As part of the Blackhawks First Stride initiative with local Chicago public schools, each week fourth and fifth graders get to experience a nicer facility than any could imagine.
MB Ice Arena takes pride in the opportunity it presents the community for families and fans who would otherwise be unable to experience the sport of hockey.
"These are customers who might not necessarily be able to afford to go to the United Center," Hahn said. "Maybe they have never seen a Blackhawks game at the United Center, well they can come here and be able to do that for practice at no cost."
The Blackhawks brand, from performance on the ice to presence in the community, has taken a step forward in creating a universal space connecting the top tier NHL to those just being introduced to hockey, while also making strides in performance facilities across the board.
