Team history

The Chicago Bluehawks is a professional American ice hockey club playing in the NHL. The team was sold in the 1920s in Chicago to multimillionaire Frederick McLaughlin. Once he served in the infantry of the US Army, which bore the name “Blackhawk”, which means Black Hawk Down, so it was not difficult for him to come up with a name. Since 1926, the team has won the Stanley Cup six times, and in its long history has found its loyal fans. Illinois plumber Russell Pedersen became one of the same..

Dedicated fan from the USA

Russell Pedersen began his fan journey with a Stanley Cup tattoo, which was eventually joined by the dates 2012-2013 and 2014-2015. In those years, his favorite team also became the owner of the winners’ cup. Russell himself comments that this is only blind devotion to the team. When he tattooed the number 2017, he stated that he now has the same premonition as he did in 2015. Speaking about himself, he describes himself as a hockey guy, adding that after death he would like to listen to Nirvana and watch the Bluehawks play for all eternity. Now he will enjoy the game of his favorite team with great pleasure, celebrating the future deafening victories from year to year..

To get a tattoo like that. He doesn’t see anything out of the ordinary, after all, people get worse tattoos. In his opinion, it would be much worse to fill in someone’s name.

One way or another, the team failed to win the Stanley Cup in 2017. It is hoped that Russell was able to successfully correct the pile tattoo, and continues to be a devoted fan of the team, attending their games and blindly believing in victory.
