Chicago Blackhawks preseason schedule leaks in email to season ticket holders

According to a post by Ben Pope on X, the Hawks sent out a message to season ticket holders that revealed their entire six-game preseason schedule:

We finally know when the Hawks will hit the ice to kick off their 2025-26 season. Even if it's just preseason, they'll compete against teams with big expectations for the next season: Detroit's been making waves trying to turn their rebuild around, St. Louis brought in guys like Pius Suter to stabilize their middle six, and Minnesota's going to be fun to watch with Danila Yurov likely trying to make his mark in North America.

For Chicago, there's going to be tons of storylines to follow. You've got brand new faces like Andre Burakovsky, who came over from Seattle and should give the Hawks a nice veteran scoring option. Dominic Toninato also signed on, expected to fight for a bottom-six role or provide depth if things get thin.

Then there's the wave of young guys trying to make this team. All eyes will be on third-overall pick Anton Frondell to see if he'll crack the lineup or return to Europe.

Defensemen like Sam Rinzel, Kevin Korchinski, and Artyom Levshunov will be pushing hard to lock down spots too. It's shaping up to be an absolutely packed blue line battle, while Oliver Moore and Ryan Greene could both make noise up front, especially if they have strong camps.

Bottom line: it might just be preseason, but there's going to be a ton to watch for Hawks fans. Roster battles, new acquisitions, and a healthy dose of divisional rivalry. October can't come soon enough.
