Blackhawks Make Multiple First-Round Picks Including Mason West and Václav Nestrašil
Mason West, a talented two-sport star from Minnesota, was drafted 29th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2025 NHL Draft. Inspired by NHL players Anders Lee and Tage Thompson, West has chosen to focus solely on hockey, aiming to develop his skills further before joining college hockey at Michigan State. His athleticism and potential have caught the attention of the Blackhawks, who see him as a player with high upside due to his size, skating, and raw talent.
