Blackhawks Convention 2015 underway at Hilton Chicago

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The annual Blackhawks Convention is underway at the Hilton Chicago, giving fans one more chance to salute the Stanley Cup champions.

On Friday night, Bryan Bickell was all smiles for the fans who endured long lines to get an autograph.

Bickell and his teammates were introduced along with the coaches and front office to a packed room of adoring fans at the opening ceremonies. But the loudest applause was reserved for the Stanley Cup, which captain Jonathan Toews hoisted on stage.

Fans will be able to take pictures with the Stanley Cup on Saturday. The convention runs through Sunday afternoon.

The Blackhawks won their third Stanley Cup in the last six years last month.
