The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on Monday after beating the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the final 2-0,
The win on home turf is the team's third championship title since 2010 and adds to the budding legacy of head coach Joel Quenneville, who was hired in 2008.
It was also the first Stanley Cup win on home ice for the Blackhawks since 1938, ESPN reported. Other championships for the Blackhawks include 1961 in Detroit, 2010 in Philadelphia and 2013 in Boston. All three recent Stanley Cups were won under head coach Joel Quenneville.
The last team to win three Stanley Cups within a six-year period were the Detroit Red Wings, who achieved that record between 1997 and 2002.
