A day after the Blackhawks announced Sheldon Brookbank would join Chicago's coaching staff as an assistant, he was at practice with the club.
"I'm excited for the opportunity," Brookbank said. "Big thanks to the Blackhawks for bringing me back here and giving me this opportunity. I'm looking forward to it. There's a lot of guys I know on the roster and the guys I've worked with in Rockford, so I have that level of familiarity with them, so I think that will help. Just taking it one day at a time and getting my feet wet and get things going here."
