Blackhawks prospects Kirby Dach, Alexis Gravel, Antti Saarela and Alex Vlasic will play in the World Junior Summer Showcase, starting Friday in Michigan.
The Summer Showcase, which runs July 26 to Aug. 3 in Plymouth, Michigan, includes international competitions between Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States in preparation for the 2020 World Junior Championship.
Dach is the top prospect in the Blackhawks’ system after being selected No. 3 overall in last month’s draft following a 73-point season (25 goals, 48 assists) for the Saskatoon Blades in the WHL. The 18-year-old had two goals and five assists in five games for Canada at last year’s Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
