        keep_only_tags [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'newsBody'})]

After about three hours on this total, I'd just love the answer if someone is willing to throw me a bone. I know I'm close...

Your print_version isn't running. It needs to be indented to run. You don't need the keep_only_tags. Try this:

    __author__          = 'Starson17'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    remove_javascript = True
    remove_empty_feeds  = True

    feeds          = [(u'Blackhawks Recent Headlines', u'http://blackhawks.nhl.com/rss/news.xml')]

    def print_version(self, url):
        main1, replace1, end1 = url.partition('news.htm?')
        url = main1 + 'newsprint.htm?' + end1
        main2, middle2, end2 = url.partition('&')
        return main2

    extra_css = '''
                    .headline{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight:bold;font-size:large;}
                    h2{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight:normal;font-size:small;}
                    p{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;}
                    body{font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;}
                    #newsBody{font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;text-indent:2em;}
		'''

It should be close. (I threw in some basic formatting.)
