RELEASE: Blackhawks to Celebrate Pride Night on Tuesday

The Chicago Blackhawks will host Pride Night, in partnership with BMO Harris Bank, on Tuesday, April 12 when the team hosts the Los Angeles Kings at the United Center. Pride Night brings the entire Blackhawks organization together to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and stand together for inclusion.
A special pregame event in the United Center Atrium will kick off the evening, featuring special performances from the Chicago Gay Men's Chorus, a surprise appearance at the new dasherboard bar, photo opportunities and more. Fans can also sample free tacos from Taylor's Tacos, a local Support West grant recipient and 100 percent female-, black- and lesbian-owned small business. Atrium doors will open at 5 p.m.

Both game intermissions will feature surprise entertainment performances inside the arena. Additionally, fans will have the opportunity to learn about two more local small businesses -- Pride Candle Co. and Brassell Design Consultants -- as part of BMO's Empower Series.
Blackhawks players will wear Pride-inspired warmup jerseys, which will be auctioned online at
Blackhawks.com/PrideJersey
through Friday, April 22 at 12 p.m. CT. Pride Candle Co. candles and mystery pucks will be available in the Atrium, and limited-edition Pride apparel will be available in the Madhouse Team Store or at CBHShop.com. Through all of these efforts, the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation will invest a portion of all proceeds in various local organizations that provide resources to the LGBTQIA+ community or increase diversity in hockey.
