The Chicago Blackhawks' future franchise defenseman, Sam Rinzel, is showing off in Da Beauty League, making this look like a video game, and Kyle Davidson looks like a genius.
Sam Rinzel was selected 25th overall in the 1st-round of the 2022 NHL Draft. The defenseman would join the team at the end of his collegiate career in April, and play 9 games for the Blackhawks and score 5 points with a +1.
This offseason, the Blackhawks are prominent in Minnesota's Da Beauty League, run by former enforcer John Scott.
Oliver Moore, Wyatt Kaiser, Dominic Toninato, and Sam Rinzel would be featured this year. Rinzel was quick to make a name for himself in the recreational league full of NHLers.
Sam Rinzel's Nine-Point Night in Da Beauty League
He'd torch the opposition, scoring 4 goals and 9 points total that night.
Keep in mind that Da Beauty League isn't a checking league, and is a 4-v-4 format, featuring current and past NHLers. The games are played in two 23-minute intervals.

Goal 2
Goal 3
Goal 4
Rinzel would finish the night with 9 points (4-5), and as the Blackhawks' next franchise defenseman, could be a foreboding fo what he's capable of offensively on a good night.
The defenseman earned his ELC with the Blackhawks, earning $941K AAV, and is in year 2 of his 3-year deal.
He played 40 games in the NCAA with the Minnesota Golden Gophers and scored 32 points (10-22) in 2024-25.
