Everett, WA – The Chicago Blackhawks announced Sunday that forward Kyle Beach has been reassigned to the Everett Silvertips and will reunite with the team in time for practice on Wednesday. With Beach’s return, no Silvertips remain at NHL camps.
Beach, 18, has been among the most productive power forwards in junior hockey throughout his two-plus seasons in Everett. Having accounted for 58 goals and 66 assists, his 124 points rank him fifth all-time in Silvertips history, just two behind Dan Gendur’s and Torrie Wheat’s 126 points. Beach has accumulated a +25 rating in Everett, while his 422 penalty minutes are the most in Everett history. Drafted eleventh overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, Beach maintained his rugged elements throughout Chicago’s training camp and logged one assist throughout four preseason games. The Kelowna, BC native tallied 27 goals and 33 assists for 60 points with the Silvertips last season, compiling 222 penalty minutes over 60 games played.
Kyle will serve as an assistant captain upon his return, joining captain Zack Dailey and assistants Graham Potuer and Taylor Ellington. |
