"As we enter our fifth season with the Chicago Blackhawks, I'm thrilled to see how far we've come and how much we've grown our partnership. Our audiences have really embraced the amazing Blackhawks brand and they are becoming more and more engaged with the game of hockey. As an organization, the Blackhawks have demonstrated that they are authentically committed to Chicago's Latino fans," added Doug Levy, President & General Manager of Univision Chicago.
