By Erin Barney<\/strong><\/p>\n

Champagne dripped from the ceiling. Table tops were used for celebratory dances. Glass snapped and cracked under the weight of more dancing on the ground.<\/p>\n

The Ogden Chicago, a bar near the United Center, was in a state of chaos on a night last June. But it didn\u2019t matter. The Chicago Blackhawks had just won the 2015 Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cHawks fans are crazy,\u201d said Joe Magoonaugh, managing partner at The Ogden Chicago. \u201cEvery single game, they always bring the crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

That’s why Magoonaugh was pleased to hear about the World Cup of Hockey coming this fall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettmen announced the return of the \u201cbest-on-best international tournament\u201d in January, and last week, rosters for the eight participating teams were released. The Blackhawks will be well and widely represented with nine of their players spreading out between teams United States, Russia, Sweden, Europe, Canada and Finland.<\/p>\n

The resurgence of the event after a 12-year hiatus caught fans and businesses like Magoonaugh\u2019s off guard. He had never heard of it, and isn\u2019t sure what to expect in terms of its world-wide popularity.<\/p>\n

But he has no doubts about its effect in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Hawks fans, there\u2019s always something at stake,\u201d Magoonaugh said. \u201cYou never know what Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews are going to do. Fans want to see these guys no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kane and Toews will represent rival teams USA and Canada, respectively. The popular all stars each have such loyal fan bases, Magoonaugh said he wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see an inner-establishment divide when the two face off September 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they drop the puck, they\u2019re both trying to score,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s such a rivalry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having never seen the event himself, bar manager and life-long Hawks fan Matt Hoegland said he plans to treat it like the Olympics. Other than playoffs, it\u2019s his favorite time to come to work\u2014tips and people watching make the long hours worthwhile.<\/p>\n

Since joining the Ogden team two years ago, Hoegland has come to recognize Olympic and playoff game days as city-wide holidays for Hawks fans. Patrons belly-up for their first round starting early in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must just take vacations,\u201d Hoegland said. \u201cWhere could they possibly work that at 2 p.m., they can be here?\u201d<\/p>\n

They are equal parts eager and territorial.<\/p>\n

Showing support for the opposition is a risky move at the Ogden. Kianna Martinez, an Ogden bartender, said she recently saw a Detroit Redwings\u2019 jersey-donning fan get verbally ripped apart by the Hawks backers.<\/p>\n

She said it wouldn\u2019t surprise her to see those not in red, white and blue during the World Cup forced into back-of-the-bar exile.<\/p>\n

For the first time and in an effort to bridge the intense rivalry gap, the NLH added team North America to the World Cup competition pool. This American-Canadian combo squad has a maximum participation age of 23. No Blackhawks were asked to lace up for the young team, but Vice President and General Manager, Stan Bowman, will represent from the bench.<\/p>\n

Team North America has already been labeled as the underdogs, a brand Chicagoans aren\u2019t used to rooting for when it comes to hockey. But with the added presence of Bowman as general manager, the newbies could become a local fan favorite.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving here, you kind of absorb all those sports, unfortunately,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we stick it out. Win or lose, good or bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
