BREAKING NEWS: Blackhawks Extend Kevin Korchinski On Two-Year Deal

Before his NHL career started, Korchinski won a Gold Medal with Connor Bedard at the 2023 World Junior Championships. He has big-game experience, and that could come to help him down the line.

Korchinski played his entire rookie pro season in the NHL, where there were some good and bad moments. Over the last two years, however, he spent most of both seasons in the AHL. He was an All-Star both times, including the All-Star Game MVP in 2025.

He is still working on becoming a full-time NHL player again, which is becoming increasingly difficult with all of the young talent around him.
