CHICAGO — When the Chicago Blackhawks take the ice Thursday at Fifth Third Arena to begin training camp, they’ll kick off a new era.
It’s their first camp under fresh leadership in general manager Kyle Davidson and coach Luke Richardson.
“It’s nice to get around and talk to (the players) while they’re doing their medicals and fitness testing, get to know them a little bit, try to get to know some of the faces,” Richardson said Wednesday. “But on the ice is where it’s important and that’s where we’re building the relationships as coaches and players, trying to get that first block in place so we can really start building the team.”
