The name of the Chicago Blackhawks comes from original owner, Frederic McLaughlin, who had been a commander with the 333rd Machine Gun Battalion of the 86th Infantry Division during World War I. This Division was nicknamed the "Blackhawk Division" and named for a Native American of the Sauk nation, Black Hawk, who was a prominent figure in the history of Illinois.
Owner Frederic McLaughlin named the hockey team in honor of the military unit.

It has little to do with the name. It has to do with the power to cause change. They feign being offended at something, get it changed, and declare a win. Little successes lead to bigger successes (that is, more power) later.
