Add another name--this one very well-known--to the list of those who say Blackhawks President and owner Bill Wirtz has severely damaged hockey in Chicago.
Ex-Bears coach Mike Ditka said on WMVP-AM 1000 Thursday he was "not really fond of the ownership of the Blackhawks" in response to a question of which Chicago team would win a championship next.
Ditka said he was a hockey fan back when the Hawks had Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita and players such as Gordie Howe made frequent appearances at the old Stadium.
"[Wirtz] destroyed it," Ditka said. "I watched him dismantle a great franchise."
