The Chicago Blackhawks selected prospect Mason West 29th overall in the 1st round of the 2025 NHL Draft, as Kyle Davidson's latest selection had himself a game with the Edina Hornets in Minnesota's senior high school football scene.
Mason West is another Chicago Blackhawks prospect who played both football and hockey.
The last one who played both of the sports was AJ Spellacy, who idolizes Tom Wilson and has set the tone as a punishing forward.
For West, the Fargo Force forward gets to utilize his vision on the football field every night as a quarterback of the Edina Hornets in his home state, Minnesota.
Also dubbed the state of hockey.
Last night, West had himself a game, as he would throw for 4 touchdowns with the Hornets.
Mason West's Future with The Blackhawks
West's beginning to the high school football season, we hope can translate to the NHL, as the Blackhawks prospect could thrive if his vision can help the team make plays and score goals.
«Not only is he big but he can be physical and is smart with the puckHe makes great decisions. The way he surveys the ice is a lot like he's a quarterback out there. You can really see that. So that makes him super interesting.» - David Gregory, associate director of NHL Central Scouting
The forward is not only an excellent skater but also a gifted quarterback, as evidenced last night.
In 2024-25, the Edina Hornets QB suited up for the Fargo Force and played ten games in the USHL and scored 9 points (1-8).
The Blackhawks have a great eye for talent, and this is another example of a potential Kyle Davidson home run.
