Blackhawks officially send two players packing in shocking move

The Rockford IceHogs made a surprising move today, announcing that goalie Mitchell Weeks has been sent to the Indy Fuel in the ECHL.

This decision comes as a bit of a shock to fans, considering Weeks' recent strong performances on the ice.

Weeks, at 22 years old, has played in 12 games this season and has shown consistency and solid play in the net has been a notable aspect of the IceHogs' recent games and wins.

Sending him down to the ECHL is unexpected, especially given his recent standout performances, but it appears he's hit rock bottom as you cannot be sent down any further than the ECHL.


Fans who have been impressed by Weeks' skills and contributions to the team may find this move surprising. It raises questions about the team's goaltending strategy moving forward. While there might be strategic considerations behind the decision, supporters are left wondering about the dynamics in the net for the IceHogs in the upcoming games.
