With the 11th Pick In the 2008 NHL Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks Select: Kyle Beach


The Blackhawks drafted left winger Kyle Beach in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in the 2008 NHL Draft with the 11th overall selection. Kyle Beach is a hard nosed player, some may refer to as a "goon". Beach gets several penalty minutes and has also been involved in several fights. He played with the Everett Silvertips of the WHL last year. He's coming off a sports hernia injury and has had a few concussions. He plays feisty and is agitating and physical. The Blackhawks need a big guy, and they got him. We'll see if he takes the ice on the pro level in October, but eventually he'll be an enforcer in the lineup.
