Adam Boqvist, Henri Jokiharju headline Blackhawks prospect camp roster

Share

The Blackhawks will get their first look at the next wave of prospects at development camp from July 16-20, which will feature each of their three first-round draft picks from the last two years.

Nicolas Beaudin, Adam Boqvist and Henri Jokiharju headline the group of 41 players, highlighted by 32 team selections, including all eight from 2018.

Other notable players attending: Jacob Nilsson, who signed a one-year contract in May after three seasons in Sweden, and Blake Hillman, who's the only player listed that appeared in an NHL game last season. Dennis Gilbert and Ian Mitchell also stand out, with the former expected to start the season with the Rockford IceHogs and the latter to return to Denver University for his sophomore year but could ink an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks after that season ends.

Alexis Gravel and Wouter Peeters are the only two goaltenders attending who were drafted by or are under contract with the Blackhawks. Gravel was drafted in the sixth round (No. 162 overall) in June while Peeters was taken in the third round (No. 83 overall) in 2016.

Practices will run from 1-5 p.m. next Monday-Thursday at MB Ice Arena, with a scrimmage wrapping up camp on Friday that will begin at 9:30 a.m.
