Blackhawks' Jack Pridham: Returned to OHL

Pridham was reassigned to OHL Kitchener on Wednesday.

Pridham was almost certainly going to end up back with a junior team this season, so his demotion shouldn't come as a surprise. Last season, the 19-year-old winger logged 48 regular-season games in the OHL, tallying 27 goals and 27 helpers for the Rangers. Selected by the Hawks in the third round of the 2024 NHL Draft, Pridham is a long-term project for the organization.
