Chicago Blackhawks owner W. Rockwell "Rocky" Wirtz has died at age 70, the team confirmed Tuesday evening.
"Our hearts are very heavy today," said son Danny Wirtz. "Our dad was a passionate businessman committed to making Chicago a great place to live, work and visit, but his true love was for his family and close friends. He was a loving father, a devoted husband to Marilyn, a brother, a nephew, an uncle and a doting grandfather to his six remarkable grandchildren. His passing leaves a huge hole in the hearts of many and we will miss him terribly.
Wirtz's grandfather, Arthur Wirtz, purchased the Blackhawks in 1954, when Wirtz was just two years old.
