'Dollar Bill' is dead at 77
Long-time Chicago Blackhawks owner Bill Wirtz- known as "Dollar Bill" to fans for his customary tendency toward... er, economy- has passed away at 77.
Hawks fans generally have mixed emotions. We are sorry at his passing, and grieve with the family. At the same time, there is hope that a change in leadership will also lead to a revival of what was once a proud NHL franchise, that degenerated into... well, something less during the late owner's tenure.
Our prayers are with Rockwell "Rocky" Wirtz, the new owner, and the Wirtz family.
