There are players that are all-time greats when they step on to the ice, or when they get behind the bench. Yet some of the greatest only made a small but meaningful contribution on both sides of the bench in their Chicago Blackhawks career.
Trent Yawney was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks with the 45th selection overall in the 1984 draft, and he has seen almost the entire span of good and bad with this franchise.
Yawney was a defenseman in the late 80’s and early 90’s for the Chicago Blackhawks when they were a very good team that just couldn’t find their way to get past the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, and Vancouver Canucks to get to the Stanley Cup Final.
