Honoring Seabs On September 7th

When it comes to the Blackhawks, there have been a few guys come around wore number 7 that left their mark in Blackhawks history. One of those players is Brent Seabrook. Seabrook played a pivotal role in the Blackhawks 2010s dynasty. Seabs was a first round draft pick of the Blackhawks in the 2003 NHL Draft (14th overall). He would make his NHL debut in the 2005-2006 season with Chicago, where he would stay until the 2019-2020.

As a defenseman, Seabs wasn't expected to put up big numbers. Sure in today's game, that is a nice bonus as a defenseman, but that wasn't Seabs game. Him along with Duncan Keith were more of those "grinder" type players out on the ice. More of a throwback player if you will. What Seabs lacked in offense, he made up for in physicality. Only 2 seasons out of 13 year career did he have under 100 hits on the season. And 3 of the seasons, he had over 200. Certainly one of the most memorable defensemen in Blackhawks history. And on top of that, one the best to ever wear the number 7 for Chicago.
