Blackhawks vice president and general manager Stan Bowman will be inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame on Sept. 16, the University of Notre Dame announced.
Former Notre Dame football star Tim Grunhard will also be inducted. The ceremony will take place at Hawthorne Race Course in Stickney/Cicero, Ill.
Bowman, a 1995 Notre Dame graduate, is entering his 15th season with the Blackhawks, where he's helped revitalize hockey in Chicago, a city that's seen three Stanley Cups since 2010. He's also the first general manager to win multiple championships in the salary cap era.
Bowman joined the Blackhawks in 2001, and served as a special assistant to the general manager during his first four years. He spent the next two seasons (2005-07) as the director of hockey operations before being promoted to assistant general manager.

In 2009, Bowman was named the ninth general manager in franchise history and the Blackhawks haven't looked back since.
Among the former Blackhawks that headline the list of Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame inductees: Tony Esposito, Glen Hall, Keith Magnuson, Stan Mikita, Denis Savard, Al Secord, and Dale Tallon (for his role as a player and general manager).
