“The Blackhawks are truly Chicago’s team and a family favorite and we couldn’t be more proud of our new sponsorship affiliation,” said Tom Buddig, executive vice president marketing, Carl Buddig & Co. “Last year the Chicago Blackhawks thrilled us as they captured the hearts of hockey fans from coast-to-coast. As a team that shares our commitment to celebrating traditional family values, our Blackhawks partnership will bring greater consumer awareness to our brands. It’s also the perfect opportunity to celebrate our role as Chicago’s hometown lunchmeat and meat snack brand.”
The Chicago Blackhawks have won five Stanley Cup championships since the team's founding in 1926.
