At the end of an abysmal 2022-23 season a few months ago, Blackhawks fans knew they were watching the end of an era. Chicago’s championship dynasty ended several years ago, and the team has been on a slow decline since (although rookie Connor Bedard faces expectations to get the team back to the...
The Blackhawks’ defense was flat-out bad last season. That shouldn’t necessarily be a surprise for a team that finished in the bottom-three in the end-of-year standings, but the team that infamously scored the fewest goals in the league also allowed the fifth-most. The unit’s number of 3.65 goals...
The NHL is well-known by now as being a league that traverses national lines. During the NHL Draft each year, more and more prospects from around the world are given opportunities to compete at the highest level. In fact, during the 2019-20 season, just 24.8% of NHL players were born in the...
Throughout this week, young American prospects from around the country have been competing at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Michigan. The event serves as a final evaluation for Team USA staff to determine who will make the roster in the IIHF World Junior Championship, which begins near the...
Last Thursday, Team USA Hockey began the 2023 World Junior Summer Showcase, an event serving as the final evaluation for players to make the team before they compete in December and January.

On Thursday afternoon, the Arizona Coyotes’ first-round pick (third overall) in the 2022 Draft announced that he had a change of heart, and would not be returning to the University of Minnesota to play hockey this fall. Instead, forward Logan Cooley announced that he would be signing his...
The summer of 2023 has been a wild one for GM Kyle Davidson and his team. With several veteran additions, as well as young prospects making the jump, this offseason hasn’t only been about the great Connor Bedard. Despite all the new, high-dollar “cap dumps”, this summer had a growing theme:...
The International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship is one of the best opportunities for young hockey stars to showcase their talent while playing alongside some of the best young players in the country. Each team is made up of the best of the best, and for this year’s tournament,...
Last night, we mourned the passing of a man that proved to be one of the best NHL owners ever. When Rocky Wirtz took over in 2007, the Blackhawks were one of the worst-run teams in sports. With an immediate series of changes on and off the ice, Wirtz had his new squad hoisting the Stanley Cup less...
The fifth principal owner in Blackhawks franchise history, owner/chairman Rocky Wirtz passed away Thursday evening after a brief illness at age 70. Wirtz took over as owner of the Blackhawks in 2007 after his father Bill passed away. Bill’s father Arthur took over as majority owner in 1966. A black...
On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks and GM Kyle Davidson offered fans a tiny oasis in a time completely devoid of any Blackhawks-related news: they signed forward Samuel Savoie to his entry-level contract. https://twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks/status/1683871921971027968 History A New Brunswick native,...
For the first time in 12 years, the Blackhawks entered an arbitration hearing Thursday with forward Philipp Kurashev. Kurashev was coming off a one-year, $750,000 deal last season after the completion of his entry-level contract the year before. Sunday, it was announced that Kurashev would receive...
