Ice palaces: NHL arenas ranked

Chris Kuc has been the Chicago Blackhawks beat reporter for the Chicago Tribune since 2007 and during that time has covered the NHL team’s two Stanley Cup championships — and everything in between. Before being assigned the Blackhawks beat, Kuc had myriad jobs at the Tribune, including High School Sports editor, copy editor, design editor and more. Kuc began his Tribune career while still in high school and recently celebrated 30 years at the paper. When he isn’t covering hockey, Kuc enjoys spending time with his family and also losing golf balls at courses throughout Chicagoland.
