Chicago Blackhawks Morning Links- Training Camp Festival

Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The Chicago Blackhawks Training Camp Festival kicks off the season once again this season, and yesterday the dates were announced. 

The Chicago Blackhawks announced two things pretty early yesterday. The first thing they announced was the Brian Campbell was retiring and he would be joining the front office of the organization.

The Chicago Blackhawks also announced the training camp festival dates which includes the usual giveaway of a bobblehead with this years version looking pretty cool.

The Chicago Blackhawks announced how you can purchase tickets at 10am on Friday morning to be part of the festivities in September!

This years training camp will be the most competitive that the Hawks have had in years especially on the blue line.  The Hawks need somebody to step up and fill the #4 defensive spot.  If not it could be a very long season of watching pucks behind Corey Crawford.

Before we start getting depressed about the season, the Chicago Blackhawks prospects are still on the ice this week which is always a fun week from Johnny’s Ice House!
