The Chicago Blackhawks are the closest thing to royalty that you'll find in Chicago. While the rest of the city's sports teams have provided nothing but disappointment over the past decade, the Hawks have been a beacon of hope that's helped us forget how meaningless our lives truly are.
If you've ever wondered where the team's biggest stars live, you're in luck. Here's a look inside some of the Blackhawks' best players homes.
Jonathan Toews — Lincoln Park
Toews purchased this Lincoln Park mansion for $3.525 million last November. It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a dope rooftop space. In case you weren't already aware, the Blackhawks' captain has a way, way better life than you.
Patrick Kane — Trump Tower, River North
Patrick Kane purchased a two-bedroom condo in the Trump Tower for $2 million in 2008, which seems like a steal considering that the top-floor unit sold for $17 million last year. Kane was just 20 years old when he bought the place. What were you doing when you were 20? Probably eating ramen and lamenting your recently confiscated fake ID.
Duncan Keith — Lakeview
Keith is one of the best defensemen in hockey, but his home is relatively modest. He purchased it for $1.775 million in 2008.
Marian Hossa — The Belvedere, Streeterville
Hossa purchased his place in Streeterville in May 2010, which was just a month before the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup title. Perhaps he should consider making a big real estate purchase during every playoff run?
Patrick Sharp, Lakeview
Sharp nabbed this Lakeview spot in 2009 for $2.95 million. It one-ups Toews' place with six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Sharp is widely considered the sexiest player on the Blackhawks, and he may also have the sexiest home.
