After Aidan Thompson’s Leap, Is David Carle the Blackhawks’ Next Big Catch?
Aidan Thompson is stepping into the professional ranks after a standout junior season at the University of Denver, where he finished second in NCAA scoring. Following Denver’s exit from the Frozen Four, the Chicago Blackhawks signed the 2022 third-round pick to a two-year entry-level contract set to begin next season. In the meantime, Thompson will gain a taste of the pro game with the Rockford IceHogs on an amateur tryout. His rapid development has sparked hope—not only for his future—but also for a potential reunion with his college coach, David Carle, who is being viewed as an ideal candidate to lead the Blackhawks through their rebuild.
