'A childhood dream': Alex Turcotte hopes to follow in Jonathan Toews' footsteps with Blackhawks

Third overall pick in the NHL Draft, a year of college hockey after that, then off to the NHL soon to become captain of the Blackhawks.

That's the path Jonathan Toews took back in 2006, and it could just be the same path carved out for Alex Turcotte.

Turcotte, an 18-year old center expected to be a top-5 pick in the upcoming June draft, knows his fair share about Toews and the Blackhawks. After all, he grew up in Chicago rooting for them.

"That’s a childhood dream, I guess, growing up as Hawks fan," said Turcotte.
