The Chicago Blackhawks Now Have Two Pairs Of Brothers Under Contract

This off-season, the Chicago Blackhawks added brothers Seth Jones and Caleb Jones to their roster. However, that is not the only pair of siblings they have locked up to contracts. Earlier today, they announced that they have signed Colton Dach to an entry-level contract.

Colton, who is the brother of Kirby Dach, was selected 62nd overall by the Blackhawks in this summer's NHL Entry Draft. The 6'4" forward is capable of playing both center and at left wing, so if he continues to progress well, Chicago will have multiple options with him in the future. 

In 20 games this past season with the Saskatoon Blades, Dach scored 11 goals and had 20 points. It was a noticeable increase in production, as he had just 29 points in 62 games the season before. For the 2021-22 campaign, he will be playing with the Kelowna Rockets, as the Blades just traded him there earlier this week.

Nonetheless, it's cool to see that now the Blackhawks have two pairs of brothers officially under contract.
