"Last time we did this, we were saying it was two in four years," forward Patrick Sharp told the crowd at Soldier Field. "Now we're proud to say it's three in six. Everybody wants to know which was the best Cup … 2010 was special, 2013 was special, but there's nothing like winning the Cup on home ice in front of your fans." Each player went up to the stand to say a few words about their win, Patrick Sharp, assistant captain, was very ecstatic about the win saying it was the best one to win for him. Winning three cups in a players career is an amazing achievement, now winning three cups in six years is incredible. In my opinion, the Chicago Blackhawks have been a part of a dynasty that will forever be remembered by all.

To continue, the parade lasted over 3 hours and ended up at the stadium. Over all, its estimated that there were over two million fans who went to either watch the parade or at the stadium. To me, this shows incredible support for the team, having a fan base of two million people just from your city who are willing to stand outside or pay to sit in a stadium to see the players is amazing.
In conclusion, I think that the Stanley Cup parade is a really cool and a good way for teams to celebrate their win. I really enjoyed watching this years parade for many reasons, some being because it was my favourite team, seeing my favourite players hold the cup and because I could celebrate along with them.

Its a real achievement to win the cup 3 times in 6 years. To put in perspective in 6 years they have doubled the amount of cups the franchise had before, if that doesn't make a dynasty, I don't know what does. I remember when Detroit won the cup back in 2008, I loved watching that parade, so I know how you feel, its fun to see your team win.
