NHL and WHL Teams Execute Early Training Camp Roster Moves

The Chicago Blackhawks have made several roster decisions during their training camp, including assigning some players to the AHL's Rockford IceHogs while others are expected to start the season with the NHL team. Notable players such as Connor Bedard and Teuvo Teravainen are considered locks for the NHL roster, whereas players like Kevin Korchinski and Nolan Allan are likely to begin in the AHL. Additionally, several Canadian Hockey League (CHL) players, including Nathan Behm and Parker Holmes, were reassigned back to their junior teams due to age restrictions under the current NHL-CHL agreement, which will change next season. Meanwhile, the Portland Winterhawks have also made roster adjustments, reassigning players such as Jordin St. Louis, Sergio Davidson, and Owen Chapman, while welcoming back Carter Sotheran and Alex Weiermair after their NHL training camp experiences. These moves have trimmed the Winterhawks roster to around 26-27 players, balancing forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders as they prepare for the season.
