Dale Tallon may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten in Blackhawks lore.
The former general manager, who was replaced by Stan Bowman last summer and later left to join the Florida Panthers as GM, has had his named engraved on the Stanley Cup.
The championship trophy made a stop at O'Hare on Tuesday after arriving from Montreal where finishing touches were being made to the engraving.
Reading left to right on the Cup's bottom ring of champions' names, Tallon is listed after W. Rockwell Wirtz, John McDonough, Jay Blunk, Stan Bowman, Al MacIsaac, Kevin Cheveldayoff and Scotty Bowman and Tallon. Coach Joel Quenneville and his coaching staff, trainers and other team personnel and then the players themselves follow.
The Cup will be in the Chicago area Tuesday as it visits two youth hockey rinks in the Hawks' commitment to youth hockey in the community.
Here are all the names, in order, of all the Hawks players, coaches and front office personnel engraved on the Stanley Cup.
