Make-A-Wish to benefit from special Hawks pucks

To help celebrate the first Stanley Cup Finals title by the Blackhawks in 49 years and to raise funds for local Make-A-Wish kids, Nikco Sports is offering a limited edition commemorative Stanley Cup championship 2-puck set for fans.

Only 5,000 sets will be produced. The two pucks are licensed by the National Hockey League and can be ordered on a first-come basis for $39.95 by calling 1-800-345-2868 or ordering online at www.nikcosports.com. Each purchase comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. There will be a limit of 5 sets per order, to ensure that as many Blackhawks fans as possible get a piece of history.

The team puck will feature the Hawks official logo, and salute their four Stanley Cup championships won in 1933-34, 1937-38 and 1960-61 and the 2009-2010 season. It will also list the conference titles captured in 1992 and 2010 and acknowledge their 14 Division titles.

The second puck is a tribute to the 2009-2010 season and will have the official Stanley Cup logo and Western Conference logo and then a recap of each playoff series triumph over Nashville, Vancouver, San Jose and Philadelphia, as well as celebrating the Hawks season.

"The way this team battled and worked hard reminds me of how so many youngsters who are involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois also battle on an ongoing basis," said Nikco Sports CEO Craig Bidner.
