The Chicago Blackhawks are getting really close to reaching rock bottom. 

The Blackhawks continue to make apologies and promises to do better after the organizational culture failed Beach, The Jenner & Block Report confirms it. The Blackhawks may look like they are trying to take the right steps.

Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz said in his announcement after releasing the Jenner & Block Report findings the team wants to settle with Beach. Blackhawks Owner Rocky Wirtz is requesting Aldrich’s name be removed from the Stanley Cup. Then, the Hawks break out the shovel and keep finding ways to hit new lows.

You got the legal team still finding ways to destroy Beach’s case and even get the suit tossed. The team is not going to further wonder why important records are missing.

The two top stars, and the only two players remaining on the current roster from 2010, had more sympathy for recently departed General Manager Stan Bowman. Bowman stepped down because he was implicated in the Jenner & Block Report for being a part of the cover-up.

Every apology somehow seems to involve how the team is committed to winning championships with a better culture. Finally, fans are starting to question their loyalty to the Hawks. It took a lot of work to win back fans after the Bill Wirtz ownership era passed on.

The fan base came back after the team put home games on television, acquired players worth watching, and won three Stanley Cups. Now it has all come crashing down as many Hawks fans are starting to wonder if it is worth staying loyal to this team.

It is starting to show at the gate as the Blackhawks 535-game sellout streak ended on October 24th. The two home games after that date have seen even more empty seats which makes a lot of sense. People are angry.
