The Chicago Blackhawks Officially Complete a Roster Move With Their AHL
In an exciting move, the Chicago Blackhawks have announced the activation of forward Colton Dach from the injured non-roster list. However, the team didn't stop there. They've assigned Dach to the Rockford IceHogs, setting the stage for an impactful return.
Dach, a 20-year-old talent, boasts a remarkable track record. Last season, he played a pivotal role in securing a WHL Championship with the Seattle Thunderbirds. It's worth noting that he shared the ice with current IceHogs defenseman Nolan Allan and Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski during that triumphant run.
Dach's achievements extend beyond domestic glory. He also clinched a gold medal with Team Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championship. His impressive performance in the WHL last season included notching 27 points, featuring 12 goals and 15 assists in 23 regular-season games, split between Seattle and the Kelowna Rockets. Furthermore, he contributed 14 points, comprising 3 goals and 11 assists, during 19 WHL postseason games with the Seattle Thunderbirds.
Standing tall at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing in at 193 pounds, Dach initially caught the Blackhawks' attention when they selected him in the second round, 62nd overall, during the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. His sibling, Kirby Dach, who was a third overall pick by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2019, currently plies his trade with the Montreal Canadiens.
The Rockford IceHogs are gearing up for a significant matchup against the Iowa Wild, and they'll have Colton Dach in their ranks. The puck is set to drop at 7PM tonight, where Dach will look to make an impact.
