No 10 Williams Field (Arizona Republic rankings) overcame some early penalties and turnovers to remain undefeated, downing Corona del Sol 33-23 on Friday, Sept. 11, in a 6A matchup.

3 burning Blackhawks questions entering 2026-27 NHL season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Blackhawks once again missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2026. The Blackhawks did not reach the highs that similar teams such as the San Jose Sharks reached a year ago. But Connor Bedard and his teammates still made progress as a team in 2025-26.
The Blackhawks want to turn the corner sooner rather than later. Chicago has some very intriguing young players they want to see make an impact. They know what they have in Bedard, but they still have spots to fill across the lineup.
This summer, Chicago was hit with unfortunate news. Bedard suffered an injury during a summer practice and will miss the beginning of this coming season. It's a rough blow for the Blackhawks, as the former first-overall pick is clearly the team's best player.

One of the bigger question marks entering Detroit Red Wings training camp is seemingly answered − for now, at least.
Defenseman Simon Edvinsson, a restricted free agent, intends to report to camp even if he doesn't have a new deal, according to a report from The Athletic hockey insider Pierre LeBrun. LeBrun goes on to say Edvinsson is "patiently waiting for the Red Wings GM situation to iron itself out before resuming negotiations."
Edvinsson had 25 points (nine goals) in 72 games played this past season and finished with a plus-12.
Edvinsson should see a huge payday. Bowen Byram, the No. 4 overall pick from 2019, just received an extension from the Blackhawks with a hefty $12.5 million cap hit. The Wings can ill afford Edvinsson (No. 6 pick in 2021) to be on the sidelines awaiting a new contract when their season begins, as he is one of their top workhorses.
But who will hammer out that deal? That still remains to be seen, as the Red Wings are about a week away from the start camp (Sept. 17) and they still do not have a general manager. Steve Yzerman parted ways from the position on July 15, moving into a senior advisor role.

The Chicago Blackhawks are tired of losing. Tied for the third-longest active postseason drought in the NHL at six seasons, the Blackhawks are trying to prove that the rebuild is nearing completion and that they're ready to make big strides this year to become competitive.
With Connor Bedard absent until mid-November after undergoing shoulder surgery in July, this is the perfect time for other players to prove they can step up. If the Blackhawks want to jump back into the playoffs this season, the team's youth will have to be a big piece of the puzzle.
In the 2025-26 season, the Blackhawks were tied for the NHL's second-youngest team by average age. It's no secret that they have maintained one of the league's most talented prospect pools since the start of their rebuild. The team has finished in the top 10 of The Athletic's NHL prospect pool rankings list in each of the past four years.
Over the past two seasons, we have seen more and more of these prospects break into the NHL and ease into full-time spots on the Blackhawks' roster. The question is: who will make the biggest leap in their development and establish themselves in the league?
With training camp just around the corner, there are already a few potential breakout candidates for the Chicago Blackhawks.

An eventful Week 2 of the high school season saw some wet bulb delays, a coach get his first-ever victory, and a Sun Valley sweep.
Here is "The Friday Five" — that's what we call our new feature rounding up the five most important things that happened in Week 2.
Congratulations to Nick King. The former Palm Springs high athletic standout and now first-year head coach at Shadow Hills picked up the first victory of his coaching career Friday. The Knights' defense solved the Wing-T offense of Palo Verde Valley and the offense got on track as Shadow Hills pulled away for a 26-6 victory. Damian Walls had a pair of rushing touchdowns in the win. King and Company will have a short week and a tough task in Week 3 as they play at Yucaipa on Thursday. But tonight, Coach King can go ahead and exhale and celebrate the fact that he's a winning high school head coach.
Last week, the Rancho Mirage defense bent, but rarely broke, as they turned away and shut down a solid Yucca Valley offense. This week, the Rancho Mirage defense bent, but rarely broke, as they turned away and shut down a solid Coachella Valley offense. The Rattlers flummoxed their second straight DVL team and have found a nice mix of offense and defense early this season. There's been a lot of talk about the Rattlers sophomore class and that was on display in this one as the four touchdowns were scored by four different sophomores. Wow! Bentley Arredondo, Jadarius Hester, Reid Keane and Jayden Ayers all scored. That's 2-0 for the Rattlers and that's a good feeling.
The Blackhawks took their usual opening week bye week and there was absolutely no rust to be found as La Quinta ran around, over and through Yucca Valley for a 58-28 victory. The only thing that slowed them down was a wet bulb delay to start the game as La Quinta showed off its balanced offense. Talented tailback Colton LaCrone did his thing with 136 yards rushing and two TDs on 16 carries, while QB Mason Flores threw for 187 yards and three touchdown passes. The defense did its part getting a safety from Dominyck Gonzalez and a pick six from Alfredo Castro. Sure there was some sloppy play that gave coach Juan Ruiz something to talk about during film sessions, but he said it best "Even if there was some sloppy moments, nothing beats starting off the year with a W." One note for Yucca Valley in a mostly forgettable night, Aiden Pope did return a kickoff for a touchdown.

It's showtime again in Chicago. Patrick Kane is back where it all began, signing a 2-year contract to likely finish his career as a Blackhawk.
Reactions were mixed, but most Blackhawks fans were thrilled to see him back where he belongs. The $8 million cap hit raised concerns, and many hockey fans were surprised by the high number. Regardless, the team has the cash, and they used it on a player whose value transcends the ice.
The truth is, Kane might be more of a business decision than a hockey decision. With Connor Bedard out to start the season, Kane will get fans at the United Center through the opening chapter of the year. Even after a lackluster offseason headlined by their star's injury, this signing alone has Blackhawks buzz at a recent high. Fans are excited, and the team should keep filling the United Center.
Of course, that doesn't mean Kane won't improve the team's overall quality. Had Kane played for the Blackhawks last year, he would have been third in total points and fourth in goals. Even playing just 67 games, Kane would have been an important offensive contributor. He provides stability in the top-six, an exits-and-entries game that the Blackhawks are desperate for, and he can help lead the power play to success that they struggled to find last season.
Additionally, and most obviously, is his leadership. Who better to lead a young group of Blackhawks than the man himself? Originally, Kyle Davidson wanted to move on from Kane so that the next generation could take over. Now that players like Bedard, Frank Nazar, and Alex Vlasic are starting to establish themselves as leaders, there should be little concern about whether Kane will stunt their growth. If anything, it's the opposite. Three Stanley Cups just entered the locker room, and he's going to teach them how to win a few more.

La Quinta High School has never been shy about running the football, and while this year the Blackhawks' offense should be more balanced there's reason to believe that the run-first mentality will be alive and well.
That's largely because of the depth La Quinta will have at running back, but also because of senior Colton LaCrone and his ability to pound the ball like perhaps no one else in the Coachella Valley.
LaCrone ran for 701 yards and four touchdowns in five league games last season, averaging 113.6 yards per game. It's because of his potential for a spectacular encore that he lands at No. 3 on The Desert Sun's 2026 Elite 11 countdown.
LaCrone, who stands about 5-foot-10 and weighs just shy of 200 pounds, is a bruising tailback who'll also help lead the Blackhawks' defense from the linebacker spot. He was an all-league and All-CIF-SS selection last season in helping La Quita back to the playoffs.
It could be argued that La Quinta will be even better this season, despite some key losses on the roster. The receiving crops appears to be deeper and arguably faster and more talented, collectively, the offensive line looking solid and LaCrone is perhaps the top running back in the valley.

HINTON, Iowa (KCAU) - The Hinton volleyball program has its sights set on reloading ahead of a year full of opportunity.
Hinton finished last season as the Class 2A runner-up with a 30-3 overall record, entering this year with a new look.
The Blackhawks graduated three depth pieces and a trio of starters, including IGHSAU All-State pick and now Creighton freshman Bailey Boeve.
Hinton returns a rising trio featuring sophomore Ellie Friesen and juniors Addison Dunkel and Raelyn Kempema as the program hopes to remain in the mix for a chance to contend this season.
"Once you all get that experience like now, then we all know what it takes to get there and I think that helps, like having us on the team and whatnot," Dunkel said.

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has openly said that Connor Bedard's influence now extends beyond the ice. As the NHL franchise continues its rebuild, Davidson revealed that Bedard has become part of key offseason conversations, including the decision to bring Patrick Kane back to Chicago on a two-year contract.
Davidson said those discussions reflect Bedard's growing importance within the organization.
"I think it's important to have those conversations, especially with your best players, current and future leaders," Davidson said. "You want their input, it's good information. Just like anyone else at your disposal, you want those opinions that are informed, that are important to the path you're going down."

It didn't take long for the Chicago Blackhawks to express interest in free agent Patrick Kane.
According to Kane in an interview on Monday's "Pardon My Take" in Chicago, Blackhawks owner Danny Wirtz made an "emotional call" to the Detroit Red Wings' forward just after free agency started on July 1, 2026 at 12:01 p.m., Eastern time.
Three weeks later, Kane signed a two-year, $16 million contract to return to Chicago where he won three Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
"If you were to ask me last year, at the end of the season, I thought I would be going back to Detroit," Kane said in the interview. "Danny (Wirtz) called me at 11:03 (Central time) or something, as soon as free agency opened and it was actually kind of an emotional call from him, a call I'll never forget.
"All of a sudden you start thinking about, okay, well, there's interest. Maybe it'd be a cool place to come back and play."

CHICAGO — Even though Patrick Kane started his career with the Chicago Blackhawks, his reintroductory news conference Friday might have felt weird.
Yes, he helped the Hawks win three Stanley Cup championships in his first stint with the team, but three years away could have added uncertainty to the day.
As Kane walked into the Blackhawks Ice Center media room with general manager Kyle Davidson, he greeted reporters, noting "some familiar faces." Kane's longtime girlfriend, Amanda Grahovec, and their 5-year-old son, Patrick Kane III, preceded him, sitting in the front row with grins on both their faces.
The 37-year-old right wing had the two beat with his large smile that lit up the room. He sat in his chair, comfortable and poised as could be.
So no, not weird at all.

CHICAGO — When it comes to promoting nostalgia, no one does it quite like the Chicago Blackhawks.
So it’s not surprising the Hawks would bring back franchise legend Patrick Kane at 37 to re-create memories of the three-time Stanley Cup champions of the 2010s, pairing him with the next franchise savior — Connor Bedard — through the 2027-28 season.
Of course, any resemblance between those teams and the current edition of the Hawks is coincidental, and you don’t need AI to make a 37-year-old Kane look much different from his 19-year-old self.
Kane signed a two-year deal Thursday with an annual average of $8 million, which reminds us of his number, 88. It’s seen by many as overpaying for a player whose best years are in the past, but considering the marketing aspect for the Hawks, it’s probably worth every penny.
Word of the signing spread quickly, almost as though it was part of a well-planned advertising campaign. A “Welcome Home Patrick Kane!” message appeared on the Wrigley Field marquee, and the Bears tweeted a photo of Kane lifting the Stanley Cup while wearing a Bears jersey at Soldier Field, along with the message, “He’s baaaaaack.” The Hawks sent out several tweets, including one of Kane skating at the Blackhawks Ice Center, where he has been working out all summer.

Patrick Kane is returning to the Chicago Blackhawks, the team announced Thursday.
The team said Kane signed to a two-year contract with an $8 million salary cap hit. Kane played 16 seasons with the Blackhawks, leading the team to three Stanley Cups.
Hawks legend and former broadcaster Eddie Olczyk spoke on the return of Patrick Kane Thursday.
The Blackhawks picked Kane with the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft. Kane made his debut that season along with fellow rookie Jonathan Toews.
The Blackhawks traded Kane to the New York Rangers in the 2022-23 season. The winger played the past three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings.

What Sabres do now after Patrick Kane signs with Blackhawks originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Buffalo Sabres were reportedly one of the final two teams being considered by free agent winger Patrick Kane.
He chose a return to the Chicago Blackhawks, though, and so the Sabres are left as the runner-up with no prize to show for it.
Kane is originally from Buffalo, so there was hoped to be some pull there, but apparently the NHL familiarity of the Blackhawks won out.
That leaves the Sabres maybe one player short from what they hoped to achieve this offseason.

Patrick Kane has a new home, same as his old home.
Kane has resigned with the Chicago Blackhawks, with whom he spent the first 16 seasons of his NHL career, the Blackhawks announced Wednesday morning.
"Welcome back 88," the Blackhawks wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
Kane is signing a two-year contract worth $16 million, or $8 million annually, according to published reports, after spending the last three seasons playing for the Red Wings. He was an unrestricted free agent.
Chris Chelios said on Chicago radio recently that Kane was down to the Blackhawks or Buffalo Sabres.

The Detroit Red Wings have been rejected by one of their few reliable scorers, taking a hit to their 2026-27 roster.
Patrick Kane rejected the Wings' attempts to re-sign him for a third consecutive summer and instead entered free agency, where the 37-year-old found an appealing offer from the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane is going back to where his career began with a two-year deal.
Kane sounded like there was a chance he would stay when the season ended, but that was before news emerged that Dylan Larkin - who shares an agent, Pat Brisson, with Kane, had requested a trade.
A chaotic Red Wings summer continued July 15 with the news general manager Steve Yzerman would be moving to an advisor role.
Kane had 16 goals and 41 ******* ists in 67 games in 2025-26. Even in the twilight of his career, Kane proved he's still got it. Post-Olympics, as many skaters on the Wings faltered, Kane was their second-leading scorer with 25 points in 24 games (trailing only Alex DeBrincat's 28 points).

The Chicago Blackhawks will open the 2026-27 NHL season without franchise center Connor Bedard after he underwent successful surgery to repair his left shoulder.
The team confirmed the update on Wednesday, stating on X, "This morning, Connor Bedard underwent successful surgery to repair his left shoulder. We expect him to make a full recovery in an approximate timeline of four months."
Bedard suffered the injury during an offseason practice in Vancouver on July 2. The projected recovery means he will miss training camp and the opening weeks of the regular season.
The 20-year-old is coming off his best NHL campaign, leading Chicago with 75 points, including 30 goals and 45 ***** ists, in 69 games. Since being selected first overall in the 2023 NHL Draft, Bedard has produced 203 points in 219 career games and captured the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year in 2023-24.

Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard had surgery on his left shoulder on Wednesday, July 8, and will be out for four months, the team announced.
Video last week showed Bedard leaving the ice grabbing his shoulder after he was hurt while practicing with other players in Vancouver.
The four-month timeline will keep Bedard out of the lineup until early November. The starting date for the 2026-27 season won't be announced until next week, but he'll miss about a month.
This is the third major injury of Bedard's young career. He injured his shoulder last season during a last-second faceoff on Dec. 12 and missed 12 games before returning. He also suffered a broken jaw during the 2023-24 season and missed 14 games his rookie season.
Bedard is a restricted free agent and will need a new contract before the start of the 2026-27 NHL season.

Connor Bedard's fourth NHL season will start later than usual due to an unfortunate injury sustained during offseason training that required surgery.
On Wednesday, the Blackhawks announced that Bedard had successful surgery to repair his left shoulder earlier in the morning. The team also announced that his recovery timeline is expected to take approximately four months, putting him back on the ice for Chicago around early-to-mid November.
It's a rough blow for Bedard, who dealt with a right shoulder injury back in December 2025 that caused him to miss four weeks of the season. Bedard, the No. 1 overall pick from the 2023 NHL Draft, has had just one fully healthy season back in 2024-25 after dealing with a fractured jaw in his rookie year. Despite last season's injury, Bedard posted career highs in goals (30) and points (75) for the Blackhawks as they continue to build around the star center.
Even with his mid-season return, this is definitely not the summer news the Blackhawks and Bedard were hoping for, that's for sure.
On July 2, during a Blackhawks offseason practice, Bedard fell into the boards on his left shoulder after tripping on the ice. Bedard immediately left the ice after the injury, clutching his left shoulder in extreme pain.

Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard is out until at least November after undergoing left shoulder surgery, the team announced on Wednesday.
Bedard, the 2023 No. 1 overall draft pick, was injured falling near the boards during an offseason training session last week at Scotia Barn in Burnaby, B.C.
It is the second shoulder injury suffered by Bedard in the past year. He injured his right shoulder in December during a faceoff against the St. Louis Blues. That cost him four weeks and he did not take faceoffs for the Blackhawks again until late February.

The WNBA will host several All-Star weekend activities at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago later this month, becoming the first professional sports league to christen the newly opened venue.
According to a WNBA news release, several of the All-Star break’s premier events — including media day and team practice — will be held July 24 at the center’s 60,000-square-foot athletic building. The center will also host Jr. WNBA Day, a day of athletic programming geared toward Chicago’s youth, and WNBA Changemaker Day, a community-centered leadership event that highlights a collaboration among the Chicago Sky, Obama Foundation and other local and corporate sponsors.
“Hosting AT&T WNBA All-Star events at the Obama Presidential Center is a true honor and reflects our commitment to creating connection through basketball and engaging communities in meaningful ways,” commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement. “We’re excited to bring together the WNBA family and the greater Chicago community to create memorable experiences at this historic new venue.”
The center, which honors Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, sits on just over 19 acres of the iconic Jackson Park, making it one of two host sites for All-Star activities on Chicago’s South Side. The 3-point contest and skills challenge will take place at Wintrust Arena, home of the Sky, in the South Loop area July 24. Although the All-Star Game itself will tip off at the United Center on July 25, the downtown arena where the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks play, the weekend’s marquee events will be held at different locations to bring the WNBA to more fans — and fans-to-be.
“We are thrilled to welcome the WNBA as our first professional sports league hosted at the Obama Presidential Center,” Valerie Jarrett, CEO of the Obama Foundation, said in a statement. “At the Center, we believe sports have the power to bring people together and create meaningful opportunities to build the next generation of leaders.”

The Philadelphia Flyers tendering a five-year, $90 million offer sheet to the Anaheim Ducks‘ Leo Carlsson was expected to have a massive ripple effect on the future contracts for some of the NHL’s top stars. With Chicago Blackhawks‘ center Connor Bedard eligible for an extension, it appears we know what the price tag might be to sign him.
According to TheFourthPeriod‘s Irfaan Gaffar, Bedard is seeking an extension worth around $17 million per season, in the range of what Kirill Kaprizov signed with the Minnesota Wild.
Connor Bedard stats (2025-26): 75 points (45 ****** ists, 30 goals), 5 game-winning goals, 20:52 TOI/G, 315 faceoffs won, 47.1% face-off percentage, 27 blocks, 31 hits
“Connor Bedard is in for a payday. He saw Bowen Byram get a payday. I think that Connor Bedard is looking at Kirill Kaprizov money. I think that is a situation and that is a number that he’s looking at, and I do strongly believe that he thinks he deserves it. I’m not entirely sure the Chicago Blackhawks as an organization are close to that number when discussing Connor Bedard right now.”

Jul. 2— Former Austin Bruins team captain Connor Mylymok has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks.
Mylymok spent three seasons in Austin as a forward, appearing in 122 regular-season games, posting 50 points (20G, 30A). Known for his intimidating presence on the ice, his 382 career penalty minutes rank second all-time in Bruins history.
The forward was named Captain of the Bruins prior to the 2020-21 season where he recorded career highs in goals (8), ******* ists (19), and points (27).
Mylymok appeared in 52 regular-season games with the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs in 2025-26, posting 10 points (3G, 7A). He ranked third in the AHL with 204 penalty minutes, and logged his first career AHL goal on Oct. 12, 2025 at Iowa.
The 6-foot-1 forward has totaled 60 career regular-season AHL games with the Calgary Wranglers and IceHogs, posting 10 points (3G, 7A). He's also registered 26 points (14G, 12A) in 51 career regular-season ECHL games with the Idaho Steelheads and Rapid City Rush. Additionally, the Jackson, Miss. native has tallied one ******* ist in nine career ECHL postseason contests.

The beginning of the free agency period often makes it clear what vision teams around the NHL are trying to put together for themselves.
For the Vegas Golden Knights, that vision is coming together in the form of an overhaul to their depth.
In the early hours of free agency officially opening on July 1, the Golden Knights were struck with two bottom-six forwards changing addresses for the upcoming season. Colton Sissons was first to head off to the Toronto Maple Leafs on a two-year deal worth $4.25 million annually. Cole Smith would follow soon after, as the trade deadline acquisition parlayed Vegas' Stanley Cup Finals run into a three-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks with an annual cap hit of $3 million.
Then, the Golden Knights completed a trade with the Detroit Red Wings that saw fourth-line mainstay Keegan Kolesar head off to Hockeytown in exchange for a third-round pick in 2029 and a seventh-round pick in 2027.
Now, Vegas has an extra $2.5 million opened up on their books and a forward group now riddled with holes in the bottom of the lineup. With that in mind, what options do the Golden Knights reasonably have right now?

CHICAGO — Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram has agreed to a 6-year, $75 million extension with his new team.
The deal was announced Wednesday, the first day that Byram was eligible to sign an extension. It runs through the 2032-33 season.
The 25-year-old Byram was acquired in a trade with Buffalo on June 23. The Blackhawks sent the No. 4 and No. 45 selections in the NHL draft and defenseman Louis Crevier to the Sabres for Byram and forward Jordan Greenway.
It has been a very busy summer for Byram, who got married last weekend in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram has agreed to a $75 million, six-year contract extension with his new team.
The deal was announced Wednesday, the first day that Byram was eligible to sign an extension. It runs through the 2032-33 season.
The 25-year-old Byram was acquired in a trade with Buffalo on June 23. The Blackhawks sent the No. 4 and No. 45 selections in the NHL draft and defenseman Louis Crevier to the Sabres for Byram and forward Jordan Greenway.
It has been a very busy summer for Byram, who got married last weekend in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The Blackhawks are counting on Byram to take over as their No. 1 defenseman — and they paid him accordingly.
