Blackhawks Prospect Evan Barratt broke out with a couple of big games against Arizona State
It’s been interesting following the Blackhawks college prospects to say the least. There are the obvious top players and the late-round picks, but it seems like different players take turns having great weeks. Dylan Sikura started the season off hot and recently came down to earth while freshman Evan Barratt only recently found his scoring touch.
With the World Juniors tournament approaching, several of the Chicago Blackhawks in college hockey and other leagues will be participating putting prospects on full display. With the NHL not sending players to the Olympics anymore, I imagine the World Juniors will be the next best thing.
Lastly, I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! Enjoy the latest updates to your Chicago Blackhawks NCAA prospects.

Current Stats: 12GP, 11A
Next Opponent: University of Minnesota-Duluth
Mitchell is currently on a seven game point-streak scoring nine points during that time. He’s playing on the best powerplay unit in college hockey at Denver who convert over 30% of their opportunities. Mitchell is definitely making the best of his situation playing with top players at Denver and learning a lot from it.
