In the Chicago area, the only pro hockey is the AHL Chicago
Wolves at Allstate Arena by O'Hare airport.
With a rental (hire) car, you can drive up to Milwaukee to see
the AHL Admirals.
For NCAA college (university) hockey, your best bets are
the U of Wisconsin Badgers in Madison, Wisconsin, U of
Michigan Wolverines (Ann Arbor, MI) or, six hours of
driving, the U of Minnesota Gophers.
It's a shame, the Chicago Blackhawks have had such poor
attendance that a good ticket (especially if you are solo)
could have been gotten the same day, walk up.
