Blackhawks Announce 2026 Prospect Showcase Roster, Schedule vs. Blues

The Chicago Blackhawks released their 2026 Prospect Showcase roster and schedule Monday, setting two games against the St. Louis Blues for Sept. 14-15 at Blackhawks Ice Center on the Near West Side.

Chicago hosts at 6 p.m. CT Monday and 4 p.m. CT Tuesday at USG Arena, 1801 W. Jackson Blvd. Rockford IceHogs coach Jared Nightingale and his staff will run practices and games.

Practices at the Ice Center are free and open to the public. Game tickets are $10, including taxes and fees, through Ticketmaster. Seating is general admission. Doors open an hour before puck drop.

The Blackhawks open camp Friday with a 10 a.m. skate on the USG Arena ice, then practice at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday on Rink 1. Morning skates are 10 a.m. Monday and 9 a.m. Tuesday. Media availability follows each session and both games.

Sacha Boisvert, already listed with the NHL club and Boston University, headlines the forward group. Paul Ludwinski is back after a year in Rockford. The rest of the group is heavy on OHL talent, IceHogs depth and a pair of invites. Anton Frondell is not on the showcase roster.

The event is the first look at Chicago’s next wave of prospects before NHL training camp begins. Blues prospects get the same two-game runway. The schedule is subject to change.
