Blackhawks re-sign van Riemsdyk – Article – TSN

The 23-year-old van Riemsdyk had one assist in 18 regular-season games with the Blackhawks last season. Now as we know, each player from the Blackhawks gets to spend one day with the most coveted trophy in hockey, and we’ve seen some wild stuff over the years. Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson and David Rundblad are the others.

Trevor van Riemsdyk #57 of the Chicago Blackhawks waits for a face-off against the Montreal Canadiens during a preason game at the United Center on October 1, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois. “The organization has been great to Trevor, and he has made the best of the opportunities that they have presented to him”. He later injured his right wrist while rehabbing with the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL and had another surgery in April. He returned in time to play in four Stanley Cup Final games against the Tampa Bay Lightning and help the Hawks to their third title in six seasons.

The new deal locks van Riemsdyk up through 2017-18, after which he can become a restricted free agent.
