Hawks done with the Edge

Don't plan on heading out to the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville to watch the Blackhawks in training camp starting Sunday.
For the most part, the Hawks are through with the Edge as their primary practice facility. There might be an odd practice here or there at the Edge, but all of training camp will be conducted at the United Center and Johnny's Ice House. Once the season begins, the Hawks still plan on practicing at the UC and Johnny's until their new practice facility, Johnny's Ice House II, is completed in about six weeks, according to GM Stan Bowman.
The new Johnny's, located near the intersection of Madison Street and Western Avenue on the West Side, will feature a full dressing room and upgraded training, weight and medical rooms from what the Hawks had at the Edge.
The off-ice setup at the Edge simply was too small and not up to NHL standards. The AHL Wolves have a better facility in Hoffman Estates. In addition, it was a long drive to the Edge for the players, nearly all of whom now live in the city.
The Hawks will allow fans to watch training camp sessions at Johnny’s. Those at the United Center are closed to the public.
