It was their first Stanley Cup win on home ice since 1938, when they won 4-1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs and took the series 3-1.
The win came in front of a roaring United Center crowd, with defenseman Duncan Keith earning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

Here's a look back at the top five moments in chronological order from the Hawks' 2015 playoff run...
1. Keith's 2OT winner vs Nashville
The opening game of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs did not go in the Blackhawks' favor. Chicago fell into a 3-0 hole against the Nashville Predators at the end of the 1st period, but the Hawks didn't give up.
Rookie goaltender Scott Darling replaced Corey Crawford in net and stood tall with 42 saves in relief. The Hawks clawed their way back, tying the game 3-3 in regulation with goals from Niklas Hjalmarsson, Patrick Sharp (power play goal), and Jonathan Toews (power play goal).
Then, in the second overtime, Duncan Keith called game. With traffic in front of the net, he unleashed a slap shot from the high slot, glove side, past Pekka Rinne to win the game 4-3.
2. A Clean Sweep of Minnesota
Chicago's second round series sweep showed why they were dominant against Minnesota at the time.
Game 1 was a 4-3 win for the Hawks. Teuvo Teravainen was a key player in that game, notching a two-point night (one goal, one assist). Game 2, the Hawks won 4-1. Patrick Kane had two goals, Patrick Sharp scored, and Jonathan Toews had a shorthanded goal in the 2nd period. In Game 3, Patrick Kane tallied the game-winner —one of his five goals in the series. In Game 4, the Hawks held on for a 4-3 win to complete the sweep and advance to the Western Conference Final.
3. Triple-Overtime Showdown in Anaheim
In what felt like a playoff war, the Blackhawks and Ducks went toe-to-toe in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final. The game went to six periods of hockey and lasted nearly 117 minutes— the longest game in Blackhawks franchise history.
Corey Crawford was magnificent, stopping 60 of 62 shots faced. Brent Seabrook hit the post in the first overtime. Andrew Shaw headbutted the puck into the net in the second overtime — only for the goal to be waved off. Finally at 16:12 of the third overtime, Marcus Kruger crashed the net and buried a rebound to seal the 3-2 win.
Players on both sides could barely stand. This was a tight, gut-checking game, and the Hawks had blood, sweat and tears running down themselves. This was a huge win for the Hawks to tie the series up at one heading home to Chicago for Game 3.
4. Jonathan Toews' Orange County takeover
With the series tied 3-3, Game 7 against the Ducks at the Honda Center was intense. Anaheim had home ice and momentum. The building was loud. The pressure was on both teams.
And then Jonathan Toews happened.
The captain scored not once, but twice in the first period — quieting the crowd. His first goal came on the rebound in front of the net, and his second goal was on a one-timer on the power play from the right circle.
Brandon Saad and Marian Hossa added to the Hawks' lead to make it 4-0. Ryan Kesler scored in the 2nd period for Anaheim to cut the Hawks lead to three, and Corey Perry scored in the third period to give the Ducks some life. But Brent Seabrook iced the game away on the power play with 6:37 to go in the period. Anaheim got a last-second power play goal from Matt Beleskey, but it wasn't enough as the Hawks won 5-3.
They advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in six seasons (2009-2015).
5. The Cup comes back to Chicago
For all the drama and heroics along the way, the Blackhawks saved their most complete performance for last. On June 15, 2015, the Stanley Cup was finally raised on home ice at the United Center — the first time since 1938.
In a tense, tight Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Duncan Keith once again rose to the ocassion. Late in the second period, he followed up on his own rebound and beat Ben Bishop high glove side for the game's first goal — and the game-winner. Patrick Kane added an insurance tally in the third, and Crawford was perfect, pitching a 25-save shutout.
The horn sounded. Gloves flew. The crowd was electric. It was pure cinema.
The core — Toews, Keith, Kane, Seabrook, Hossa, Crawford — had done it again. This time, with 22,424 fans at the MadHouse on Madison going crazy.
