In this special alumni episode of BlueLine Banter, we sit down with former Chicago Hawks players who’ve traded their youth hockey jerseys for new chapters – but have never left the game behind. From unforgettable goals to life lessons learned in the locker room, these Hawks alums reflect on their time with the club, how it shaped their journey, and what they’re up to today on and off the ice.

Whether they’re playing college puck, coaching the next generation, or preparing to crush it in the real world, one thing’s clear: Once a Hawk, Always a Hawk!

Host Nick Skweres and Hockey Director Steve Poapst catch up with Chicago Hawks alumni Ben Lechner, Brian Manns, Andrew Hanlon, Bobby Barrett, Grace Deacetis, Kieran Sullivan and Amelia Sowers.

🧊 Tune in for a mix of stories, shoutouts, and a few well-earned chirps – because the bonds built in youth hockey don’t end at the final buzzer.
