Firefighters were called to the United Center Thursday night, but the Chicago Blackhawks home game was not delayed.

CHICAGO, IL - A Level 1 Hazmat response was called in at the United Center on the city's West Side Thursday night, but the incident was not serious enough to delay the start of the Chicago Blackhawks hockey game against the Edmonton Oilers.

Firefighters were, however, called to the sports arena to check on something, ABC-7-Chicago reports. What that something was was not indicated in the report, however.

The Blackhawks game started on time.
