Roy Radke Done For The Year
According to Scott Powers at The Athletic, Blackhawks prospect Roy Radke will have season-ending shoulder surgery.
According to Powers, “Radke underwent a physical prior to joining [Rockford], and a shoulder injury, which occurred during his OHL season, was examined and surgery was recommended.”
Radke, 20, signed an ATO contract with Rockford recently. Powers adds that Radke is expected to participate in the Blackhawks prospect camp this summer, the Traverse City rookie tournament and the Blackhawks NHL training camp in the fall as well.
May have to settle for an ahl deal. Gonna be lots of kids in Rockford next year.
Fortin, Highmore, Debrincat, Louis, Knott, Snuggerud. Radke and Bondra may also be possibilities. Dennis Gilbert may be another.
Anyone know??? Is this the Injury he had/played with in OHL??? kept him out a lot…
or something new?
I am guessing/hoping- OHL injury- which would explain weaker then expected numbers… I really liked this kid’s heavy shot in Prospect camp!!! Hope it gets fixed… and kid shows like he did in Camp.
Might want to read what Tab has written and sign up for the service Tab has promoted. WELL WORTH IT.
“a shoulder injury, which occurred during his OHL season”
He may have had other ailments, but this happened during the season. Not on the flight to Chicago.
