Players to Watch: CHI vs CAR (4/1/21)
The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 on Tuesday. It wasn’t a good game from Chicago, but they still came out on top. If they want to defeat Carolina twice this week, they need to come out with a better effort tonight.
Previewing Blackhawks vs. Oilers

Weekend Warriors
The IceHogs were back in action at the BMO Friday night. I wish I could make you wait until the end of my recap to tell you the result, but I can’t contain my excitement. THE ICEHOGS WON THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON! To make it even better, they beat the Chicago Wolves!

Prospect Tournament Game 1
The 2019 Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Michigan is upon us. As always, the Blackhawks have sent their top prospects to compete. The good thing about this tournament is there are a bunch of players who are fighting for NHL spots. But, if they can't make the big team - many of them will play for our IceHogs. It's a great chance to get a look at a few of our players before they hit the ice for NHL preseason or when the season starts in October.
