Kyle Beach

Currently with the Rockford Icehogs (AHL).

Autographed card purchased from the Rockford Icehogs team store.

Kyle Beach had an impressive career in junior hockey. He was named rookie of the year in the Western Hockey League (WHL) in the 2006-07 season.  In his last season of junior hockey (2009-10), Beach scored 52 goals and 34 assists in 68 games.

Beach was drafted in the first round (11th overall) by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2008. He played the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons for the Rockford Icehogs (AHL). There, he has averaged a point in every other game--not really great numbers.

However, Beach is 6-foot-3 and plays left wing. The Blackhawks could really use a power forward. I could see this guy playing on a line with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.
