After winning the Stanley Cup, the Chicago Blackhawks took their nearly 3-foot trophy to party.
The squad and their hockey hardware were at Windy City hot spot Rockit Bar & Grill on Tuesday — where partying players included series MVP Duncan Keith, captain Jonathan Toews, goalie Corey Crawford, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook.
Also celebrating: singers Natasha Bedingfield and Michelle Williams, of Destiny’s Child, who’d been at dinner earlier with Rockit entrepreneur Billy Dec.
“Michelle and Natasha were so excited, they were high-fiving the Blackhawks, who were hoisting the cup above the crowd, which then broke out singing ‘We Are the Champions,’” a spy said.
Fans were so keen to see the cup in person that the hashtag #cuptracker appeared on Twitter as crowds tried to track down the celebrating players.
