The Blackhawks prospect is an offensive-minded defenseman that needs to improve his play in the defensive zone. But he doesn’t want it that way. He wants to be a more all-around defenseman now.
Boqvist, who was selected eight overall in the 2018 NHL draft, spent the first month of his professional career with the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL working with player development coach Brian Campbell and Rockford assistant Anders Sorensen.
“It’s been huge for me to have those guys around me,” Boqvist said Wednesday night after the IceHogs’ 6-2 win over the San Antonio Rampage.
