Styx & Blackhawks

[SuiteMadameBlue]

Are any members of Styx still die-hard fans of the Blackhawks?

Just found this in an old JY article from 1981.....

N.R.N. — The song "Great White Hope" seems to have sports connotations. Are you and/or the members of Styx heavily into sports other than John (Panozzo) who is widely known for his love of hockey?

J.Y. — "Yeah, we all are into sports pretty much. As you know, John turned down an offer to play semi-pro hockey but he still loves the sport and that has kind of rubbed off on the rest of us...we love the Blackhawks and have box seats to their games whenever we get a chance to attend. As a matter of fact, we've become friends with the whole team and most of them will be attending the first Chicago performance the group plays at the Rosemont. We've got some good seats for them.
