Team members such as Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane will ride on double-decker buses during a parade stretching through the city’s Loop neighborhood to Michigan Avenue starting at 10 a.m. Thursday. Tens of thousands of fans are expected to greet the team when the buses arrive at Soldier Field for a rally starting at 11 a.m. Fans needed to get free tickets online for the event.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel promises a celebration “worthy of a hockey dynasty.”

The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup on Monday night with a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
