It’s becoming very difficult to believe Mackenzie Entwistle won’t succeed at the NHL level, if there was ever really much doubt.
The Blackhawks prospect just seems to have “it” both on and off the ice.
For starters, he’s earned the respect of Ontario Hockey League coaches, earning a nod that would make Jonathan Toews quite pleased. Before the playoffs started, the OHL announced the results of the Eastern and Western Conference Coaches Polls for the regular season. While Entwistle began the season in the East as a member of the Hamilton Bulldogs, he made enough of an impression on the coaches in the West to be named Best Defensive Forward.
