The Blackhawks are making a change to their development camp this year, which will be off-ice only and not include any on-ice portion as they’ve done in the past.
"I'm going on Year 10 of doing this, and I just remember from Day 1, the whole first year, every time I'm doing a report on a guy it's like, 'really liked what I saw but just needs to get stronger, needs to be able to sustain speed, his level for three periods for a whole season.' So that's where that emphasis on the physical part of their development really came in.
"These guys are all human," Eaton said."They know when they come to development camp, they come to the city that drafted them, there's going to be a lot of eyes on them. What they need the most is that physical development. "So we'll kind of give them an intro for our new guys and then a refresher for the guys that have been there in the past of just what our expectations are for them when they do enter the Blackhawks organization from an off-ice training standpoint, how we like to train, put them through what NHL offseason training regimens look like just to give them that experience. Because these guys we found are all hard workers, they're all character kids.
