Recently, Chicago Blackhawks owner and chairman Danny Wirtz issued an apology for the teams frustrating television situation.

Chicago plays most of their games on Chicago Sports Network which isn't on a lot of streaming platforms including Xfinity cable. Getting this network is difficult right now and most people don't get to watch games at their homes.

With that being said, Danny Wertz recently sent out a mass email to Chicago Blackhawks season ticket holders, issuing an apology for the lack of television exposure.

Season ticket members are the heart and soul of this franchise, and your passion for Blackhawks hockey drives everything we do. I'm reaching out today to acknowledge how frustrating and confusing our recent television broadcast situation has been for many of you.

We want everyone, anywhere, however they choose, to be able to watch Blackhawks hockey. That goal remains the same, and the Chicago Sports Network's highest priority right now is to get distribution deals done with as many carriers as possible.
-Danny Wertz

As a gesture of our sincere appreciation for your patience and loyalty during this challenging period, the Chicago Blackhawks will be providing you, as a full season ticket member, with a complimentary CHSN subscription for Blackhawks games through the end of the 2024-25 regular season. You will receive instructions for how to activate that account when the service goes live on Friday.

In attempt to pacify his fans, Wertz is issuing a complimentary CHSN subscription, set to launch in the coming days.

Personally, I think a free subscription to everyone living in the regional area should be the right thing to do.
