Wow this is so sad. I grew up living near him. He was one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and always had time to show his memorabilia to the wide-eyed neighborhood kids. Can't say enough about how awesome he was to us. R.I.P. Chico.

Sorry to hear about Chico. He was always a fan favorite.
In regards to Wayne Maki, in addition to his untimely death, he was also involved in an ugly stick swinging incident with Ted Green.

Chico played parts of 15 seasons with the Blackhawks, with 841 games and 436 points. He won the Stanley Cup with us in 1961. In 2014 he was rated the 39th best Blackhawk of all time. He was the older brother of Wayne Maki, who you might know from this.
Canucks fans are familiar with Wayne for a far worse reason.
