Share

Comcast SportsNet will air the Stadium Series Alumni Game at TCF Bank Stadium on Feb. 20 between the Blackhawks and Minnesota Wild/North Stars. To get you ready for the game, read more about these former Blackhawks below.

Instead of breaking down the game on television like Chicago is used to seeing and hearing, CSN's Steve Konroyd and Eddie Olczyk will lace up the skates for Saturday's Alumni Game at TCF Bank Stadium.

Konroyd, a steady defenseman, played with the Blackhawks from 1988-92, and helped the team reached the Conference Final against the Edmonton Oilers in the 1989-90 Stanley Cup playoffs.

In 251 regular-season games, Konroyd scored 10 goals and 47 assists to go along with a plus-10 rating. He also had seven points (four goals, three assists) with a plus-8 rating in 42 postseason contests.

Olczyk spent the first three seasons (1984-1987) and last two seasons (1998-2000) of his 16-year NHL career wearing an Indianhead sweater. He compiled 209 points (77 goals, 132 assists) in 322 regular-season games in Chicago.

He also played an important role during the Blackhawks' Conference Final run in 1984-85 as a rookie, scoring six goals and five assists in 15 postseason games.

Olczyk became the first Chicago-born player to be drafted by the Blackhawks when he was selected with the No. 3 overall pick in 1984.
