The Blackhawks just won the Western Conference Final, which brings them to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third time in the past six years. These guys know how to kick butt on and off the ice, and I can't help but think about what these guys would have been like in college. They all know how to celebrate—as we saw after they won the Stanley Cup in 2010 and 2013—so we can assume that these guys were definitely cut out for the fraternity lifestyle. Here is my opinion of which fraternities each champion would belong to:
Andrew Shaw- Sigma Nu
Shaw is a tough, scrappy guy, and he has emerged as a force to be reckoned with on this team throughout the past few years. This Canadian handles injury very well, and is also quite philanthropic; he auctioned off his stitches from his injury, and donated all the proceeds to The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Also, he knows how to party with the best of them.
Marian Hossa- Phi Delt
Hossa is a veteran to the sport of hockey. At the ripe age of 36, he has had an abundance of experience in the sport, and has played with many different teams before finding his fit in Chicago. This forward was drafted first round all the way back in 1997, so he's been seen as one of the best for a long time now. He is a confident player who has been very consistent in his playing.
Patrick Kane- PIKE
Patty Kane is that guy on the team that is always down for a good time. He loves to party, as well as kick ass on the ice. He was born to play hockey, and is obviously one of the stars of this team. The game comes easy to him and he knows it, confidence is one of this player's best qualities. If you want a good laugh, check out the "Drunk Patrick Kane" twitter account. It never disappoints.
Patrick Sharp- Delt Sigs
Sharp is a good guy, natural leader and, most of all, a pretty boy. He is always a crowd favorite, and a great assistant captain of the team. He is also a veteran to the sport, and even though he was drafted in the third round, look where he is now.
Duncan Keith- SAE
Another assistant captain, he knows what to do when he needs to do it. He is known as a two-way defenseman. He can make incredible blocks and play offense if needed. This scrappy player does not care that he often has multiple teeth missing. He also went to the best school on earth: Michigan State University.
Corey Crawford- FIJI
This starting goalie doesn't take anything from anyone. He is a fighter and doesn't care what anyone has to say about him. Crawford is that guy who always goes by his nickname.
Brandon Saad- Delta Chi
This young guy is strong and often overlooked. He is a really good player, despite his age, and has a lot more time to prove that he is here to stay.
Brent Seabrook- Sig Eps
Seabrook, a first-round draft pick, was born to be a competitor. He has experienced a lot of international play, and hockey runs in his family. He is a chill guy, and not always the star of the show, but he is okay with that.
Niklas Hjalmarsson- Psi U
Hjalmarsson is a great team player, and for the first few years after he was drafted, in the fourth round, he wasn't really a pivotal part of the team. He eventually became a key part of the team the year before the team won the Stanley Cup. He was more than okay with waiting for his time to shine.
Jonathan Toews- Sigma Chi
Of course I had to save the Captain for last. Toews, often mispronounced as “toes," is one of the biggest stars of the team, and he knows it. But, he doesn't really let it get to his head. He has lead his team to many victories and is a natural leader. As a first round pick (third overall), he was destined for greatness. With his heart-melting smile, Toews can essentially do no wrong.
