Kirby Dach’s debut will surely be exciting for Chicago Blackhawks and Rockford IceHogs fans alike, and also for him. I’m sure he’s been dying to get back on the ice, even if it is with Rockford instead of Chicago. Let’s take a closer look as to what has been holding up Dach’s professional debut.
Earlier today, the Blackhawks officially assigned their 2019 first-round draft pick, Kirby Dach, to their American Hockey League affiliate, Rockford IceHogs, for a conditioning stint. The third overall pick has been out of hockey conditioning since September 13, during the 2019 Traverse City Prospect Tournament, where he crashed into the boards and suffered a concussion.
