Oh, jeez, I haven't talked about the Hawks in a while. But Prospect Camp has just begun. We're getting to see the Hawks future today. There are several names currently skating on the ice at Johnny's IceHouse West. This year's 30th pick for the Hawks Ryan Hartman will be there, as well as Finnish goalie Antti Raanta, who's signed a one-year free agent deal with the Hawks.
Other names include Illinois natives Vincent Hinostroza and Alex Broadhurst. There are also former first-round draft picks Phillip Danault, Mark McNeill, and Kevin Hayes.
Last year's Hobey Baker Award winner Drew LeBlanc won't be there, but I think he'll be a name for the Hawks in the future. But we'll have to see.
One cool thing thew Hawks have done is the blog done by 2013 pick John Hayden. The prospects have been playing well so far and they look like they want to play for the Hawks. We'll have to watch this space.
In other updates, Chris Chelios has become the 11th American elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I know like me, a lot of Hawks fans were NOT happy to see him go to the hated Dead Wings. But give credit where credit is due. A simple look on his stats page will show he deserves to be elected to the HHoF.
And, I might as well get this out of the way: SHAME ON YOU, JUSTIN BIEBER. You know why. Never set foot in the United Center again!
