MacKenzie Entwistle is fitting in just fine with his new junior team, thank you very much.
In case you missed it, the Ontario Hockey League’s Hamilton Bulldogs traded their captain to the Guelph Storm for a handful of future draft selections back on Jan. 5. Entwistle, of course, was a 2017 third-round pick of the Coyotes (nicely selected 69th overall), and became Blackhawks property a year later thanks to the offloading of Marian Hossa’s contract.
The OHL trade went down upon Entwistle’s return from a stint with Team Canada at the 2019 World Junior Hockey Championship, where he scored three goals in five games in a disappointing sixth-place finish for the host nation.
