As much as fans can hate the idea sometimes, at the end of the day, professional hockey is a business. Players work tirelessly to hone their craft from a young age, and they’re always “following the money”. Who can blame them? Whether it be for financial reasons or emotional attachments, or another...
The transition from junior hockey or another league to the NHL is one that nearly every player this century has struggled with. Very seldom do we see a young prospect, especially one that just turned 18 years old, become a superstar in the top league in the world. However, that’s exactly what the...
When 19-year-old Marcel Marcel was drafted, the primary focus of many fans was on his unique name. However, the forward is out to prove that he has what it takes to be an NHL skater one day, and he seems to be aiming to get his shot as soon as possible. Less than a month after he was drafted in the...
A small subset of Blackhawks who was once thought to be an integral part of the ongoing rebuild may be completely eradicated in less than two days. At the end of June, when all the attention in Chicago was focused on top prospect Connor Bedard and other members of the new draft class, GM Kyle...
Connor Bedard couldn’t wait a single day after his 18th birthday to sign his three-year entry-level contract with the Blackhawks. On the first day he was able to sign a legally binding contract, he did so, and made it official that the most hyped pick in Blackhawks history would be sporting the...
Hockey is hard. We’ve all heard before that it’s potentially the hardest sport out there, that it’s impossible to learn, that no non-hockey player can compete in the beloved sport. On the other hand, hockey players are often encouraged by coaches to take part in other sports, especially in their...
When the Blackhawks take the ice in Pittsburgh on Opening Night, all eyes will be on Connor Bedard. Announcers will sing his praises for at least the first two periods. Even when the camera isn’t pointed directly at Bedard, fans will be focused on the several new additions suiting up in a...
Just before free agency opened at the start of July, GM Kyle Davidson said he and his staff were “looking at a couple options”, but they wouldn’t be too busy on the open market. After all, it had been a whirlwind previous few days at the NHL Draft in Nashville, and after 11 draft picks plus a...
And… Breathe. After one of the more hectic offseasons we’ve seen in a while, it’s safe to say the storm has mostly passed. We saw GM Kyle Davidson revamp the Blackhawks’ roster by pairing veteran talent with young prospects, the departure of many former Chicago skaters, and of course, Connor...
It’s safe to say the Blackhawks’ forward lines have been the talk of the offseason. With numerous additions including one of the best prospects ever, the attack in Chicago will look completely different in October than it did in April. However, it’s important to note that the Blackhawks’ defensive...
Just over one year ago, the Blackhawks officially embarked on a scorched-earth rebuild when they traded All-Star Alex DeBrincat to the Ottawa Senators. DeBrincat had led Chicago the previous season in goals scored with 41, and tallied 78 points in 82 games. He played in the All-Star Game and was a...
Training. Learning. Preparation. And… stand-up comedy? Throughout the week-long NHL Development Camp, the Blackhawks took a unique approach to an event typically reserved for rigorous physical and mental training, designed to prepare prospects for many different aspects of the pros. The Blackhawks’...
