Chicago Blackhawks 2019 3rd overall pick, Kirby Dach, made a strong first impression on his teammates and his head coach, Jeremy a Colliton.
Dach suited up in front of his family, who made the trip from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta a day in advance when they found out Dach was going to make his NHL debut. After playing three games with the Rockford IceHogs on a conditioning stint, the Blackhawks’ brass deemed Dach ready for his shot in the NHL.
Prior to his debut, Dach stated the following to the media:
“Grew up my whole life wanting to do this, so for me to get this opportunity now, it’s awesome.
