Recognizing the tough economic times, the Blackhawks announced Thursday they would not increase the price of season tickets for the 2009-10 season.

"Chicago Blackhawks fans are unique in that they have remained loyal to our team through many seasons of challenge," chairman Rocky Wirtz said in a statement. "We are incredibly grateful of this support and recognize that during these challenging times, we are acting in the best interests of our fans and our community by keeping our season ticket prices flat for the 2009-10 season."

The Hawks have sold out all 30 home games this season and lead the NHL with an average of 22,395 fans per game.

"We want to be respectful of our fans and their allegiance to the organization with regard to the nature of today's economy," president John McDonough said in announcing the price freeze for season tickets.
