Colton Dach

May 2023 – Dach was selected to play with Team Canada in the World Juniors at the beginning of this year but sustained a shoulder injury during the tournament. He has had a tough season with multiple concussions and the shoulder injury that has kept him out for a good portion of the season. He was then traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds while being injured with the Kelowna Rockets. With the trade, Dach joined fellow Blackhawks prospects Kevin Korchinski and Noah Allen in Seattle. Since returning, he has played 14 games with Kelowna and posted nine goals and eight assists during the regular season. He has further continued that success into the playoffs with 14 points in 17 playoff games. Although his injury may have slightly delayed his progress, Dach will be at training camp ready to fight for a middle six role on this young Blackhawks team.  Puneet Sharma
