| Chicago Celebrates Stanley Cub Win |
CHICAGO (AP) --The forecast for Chicago calls for ticker tape.
The city is celebrating the Blackhawks' first Stanley Cup win since 1961 with a downtown parade Friday morning.
The event is expected to draw thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people, many hoping to catch a glimpse of the team and the Cup.
The Blackhawks ended their NHL championship drought with a game-winning goal in overtime against the Flyers in Philadelphia on Thursday.
Fans have been gearing up for the parade, snapping up championship T-shirts, flags, pins and hats from vendors around the city.
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley says money for the parade is coming from sponsors, not taxpayers.
