Since joining the Blackhawks this summer for prospect camp, the NHL Rookie Tournament, and Blackhawks training camp, Fortin has been consistently very impressive.
After his first campaign with Rouyn-Noranda in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League in 2014-15, Fortin went undrafted in the NHL draft for the first time. Following his second year with Rouyn-Noranda last season, Fortin yet again went undrafted. In his two seasons in the QMJHL, Fortin has skated in 121 games for Rouyn-Noranda, scoring 83 points (30 Goals, 53 Assists) and helping the Huskies to last year’s QMJHL Championship.
