With Rockford IceHogs hockey right around the corner (two preseason games with the Iowa Wild on Oct. 5 & 6), the Chicago Blackhawks have made their first round of roster cuts.

Three players signed to NHL contracts have been assigned from the Blackhawks to the AHL. Nine players were released from their NHL tryout agreements and join the IceHogs under AHL contracts.

Assigned

Evan Barratt, 23, Forward

Evan Barratt is entering his third season with the Rockford IceHogs. In 63 regular season games last year, Barratt scored 14 goals and added 14 assists. In five playoff games, he put up one goal. Along with putting up more points in his second professional season, he started earning more minutes and responsibilities from Head Coach Anders Sörensen as the season went on.

Louis Crevier, 21, Defense

Louis Crevier is looking to begin his first professional season. The 6’8″ defenseman was a seventh round draft pick of the Chicago Blackhawks in 2020. He played 62 games with the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL in 2021-22, scoring a career high in assists (26) and matching his career high in goals (10). In 12 playoff games, Crevier notched 10 points (4G + 6A =10 PTS). He’s got some competition on a busy blue line in Rockford this year.

Jakub Pour, 23, RW

Jakub Pour is entering his second year with the Rockford IceHogs. 2021-22 was an adjustment for Pour in his first North American professional season. He played 44 games with the IceHogs and scored six goals and two assists. Pour is a nice depth piece for the club who can chip in a few points here and there.

Released from Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO)

Andrew Perrott, 21, Defense

Andrew Perrott is coming into his first professional season in 2022-23. Last season, he split time between the Owen Sound Attack and Windsor Spitfires in the OHL. With Owen Sound, he played 23 games, scoring one goal and adding 22 assists for 23 points. With Windsor, he played 39 games and scored four goals with 22 assists for 26 points. In 25 playoff games with Windsor, Perrott scored seven goals and seven assists.

Released from Professional Tryout Agreement (PTO)

Morgan Adams-Moisan, 25, RW

Morgan Adams-Moisan is entering his fifth professional season. In the 2021-22 season, he played 28 games for the San Diego Gulls with one goal and one assist. He spent the majority of the four prior seasons in the ECHL.

D.J. Busdeker, 23, RW

D.J. Busdeker is entering his third season with the Rockford IceHogs. In 2021-22, he scored six goals and 20 assists for 26 points. Much like Barratt, he also gained more trust from the coaching staff as the season went along and played in many different situations. He’s like a Swiss Army Knife; he’s got the tools to play on any line in a plug-and-play role.

Carson Gicewicz, 25, C

Carson Gicewicz is entering his second full season with the IceHogs. He joined the team as a free agent out of college at the end of the shortened 2020-21 season. In 2021-22, he played 61 games for Rockford and scored five goals and nine assists in a depth role.

Bobby Lynch, 24, Forward

Bobby Lynch is entering his fourth professional season. He split time between the Manitoba Moose (AHL) and Newfoundland Growlers (ECHL) in 2021-22. In the AHL, he played 46 games with eight goals and 13 assists for 21 points. He joined the IceHogs as a free agent signing over the summer.

Seamus Malone, 26, C

Seamus Malone is entering his fourth professional season and his first with the IceHogs. Even so, he’s no stranger to the organization. Malone spent the last two seasons with the Indy Fuel, the ECHL affiliate of the Rockford IceHogs and Chicago Blackhawks. After scoring 21 goals and 27 assists in 62 games for Indy, he worked his way up to signing an AHL deal with Rockford. He may still play in Indy this year, but it’s a great step in his young career.

Riley McKay, 23, LW

Riley McKay is one familiar face for Malone to have in Training Camp. McKay has split time between the IceHogs and Fuel for the last two seasons. He’s a buzzsaw of a player who the fans absolutely love because he’s not afraid to mix things up and drop the gloves. He’s not a huge point producer, but he did register 14 goals and 13 assists for the Fuel in 2021-22.

Garrett Mitchell, 31, Forward

Garrett Mitchell is entering his third season as the captain of the Rockford IceHogs. He’s a steady, supportive presence in the forward core for this young IceHogs team. He may not score a lot (6G + 9A =15 PTS in 2021-22), but his presence on the ice is about more than points. He’s a leader by example, and he’s always willing to step up and drop the gloves to support his guys.

Cliff Watson, 28, Defense

Cliff Watson is another player who has put some driving time in between Rockford and Indianapolis, splitting time between the two clubs for the last two seasons. When he is in Indy, he serves as the Fuel’s captain. In 20 games with the IceHogs last season, Watson registered four assists.

And there you have it! The Rockford IceHogs roster is slowly starting to come together. We can likely expect more roster cuts by the Blackhawks after this weekend.

Editors Note: Chicago did end up making a few more roster cuts on Saturday, October 1 that affected the IceHogs roster.

Defenseman Adam Clendening and goaltender Dylan Wells were released from their NHL professional tryouts and assigned to Rockford
Goaltender Jaxson Stauber was assigned to the IceHogs (is currently on a two-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks)

Rockford’s Training Camp began on Sunday, October 2.
