The Blackhawks announced the full attendees list for their 12th annual fan convention Thursday, and it included a few notable omissions highlighted by goaltender Corey Crawford and defensemen Duncan Keith and Erik Gustafsson.
Ryan Carpenter, who signed a three-year contract with the Blackhawks as a free agent, will not be in attendance. Alexis Carpenter, whom is married to the new Blackhawks forward, gave birth to their second child this week.
Goaltender Robin Lehner, who signed a one-year, $5 million contract as a free agent, will be in attendance.
Defensemen Calvin de Haan and Olli Maatta and forward prospects John Quenneville and Aleksi Saarela, who were all acquired via trade this offseason, will attend.
All other NHL roster players are listed as attendees.
Winger Alexander Nylander, who was acquired earlier this week for defenseman Henri Jokiharju, will also not be in attendance.
Kirby Dach, the third overall pick in last month’s draft, is the lone member of the Blackhawks’ 2019 draft class set to attend.
Two-time Stanley Cup champion Kris Versteeg, who signed an AHL contract with the Rockford IceHogs in April, is listed in the alumni section on the Blackhawks’ website.
Hockey Hall of Fame television play-by-play announcer Pat Foley will not attend.
The convention will be July 26-28 at the Hilton Chicago.
The three-day event, which has sold out every year, will feature both current Blackhawks players and alumni that will participate in autograph and photo sessions, question-and-answer panels and more.
