In addition to being one of the hottest teams in the NHL at the moment, the Chicago Blackhawks also boast the most loyal fan base.
Fanatics analyzed arena occupancy, social media following, and jersey sales, and discovered that Blackhawks fans have the rest of the league beat when it comes to loyalty. Rounding out the top five are the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers, and Detroit Red Wings.
