Throughout the week, 2018 draft pick Jake Wise will be blogging for chicagoblackhawks.com about his experiences during his first Blackhawks Development Camp.
The past day and a half in Chicago have been great. It's crazy how well the Blackhawks treat us, even as prospects. Yesterday we started off with fitness testing, toured the new facility and received all of our gear. New gloves, pants... it was so exciting. I had a lot of energy and I think fitness testing went pretty well.
Today was the first on-ice session and I felt great up until I got on the ice. I had new equipment on and was feeling shaky in the beginning. I started to feel better and adjusted as practice went on. Today we did a lot of battles as well as shooting and puck possession drills.
