About this listen
Join PJ Benoit on Blackhawks Daily for a July 7th deep dive into the Chicago Blackhawks’ offseason transformation! This episode spotlights Connor Bedard’s decision to skip the 2025 IIHF World Championship to focus on a cutting-edge offseason training regimen—boosting his speed, explosiveness, and core strength to deliver a breakout third NHL season. Hear how new coach Jeff Blashill’s structured system is the perfect fit for rising star Frank Nazar, fresh off a gold medal and team-leading performance with Team USA, as he’s poised for a pivotal role in Chicago’s middle six. Plus, get excited about Nick Lardis, who just became the first OHL player since 2007 to notch a 70-goal season, drawing comparisons to elite NHL snipers and setting the stage for a fast-track to the pros. The show also celebrates the Blackhawks’ iconic tradition of fans cheering during the national anthem—a must-experience moment at the United Center. Tune in for draft analysis, fan hot takes, and why letting the kids play could be the key to building Chicago’s next dynasty!
