The AHL’s Rockford IceHogs have signed UConn forward Kale Howarth for the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n

Howarth completed his third season with the Huskies last year, scoring five goals and two assists for seven points in 18 games.<\/p>\n

In 79 career college games, the native of Red Deer, Alta., totaled 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists).<\/p>\n

\u201cKale is a big, strong kid and he is excited to be a part of the organization,\u201d said IceHogs coach Derek King in a statement. \u201cWhen I spoke with him, he already sounds like a professional and he\u2019s eager to learn. I\u2019m excited for him and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what he can do on the ice. He\u2019s a big guy with a lot of hockey in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howarth was selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the fifth round (148th overall) of the 2017 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dream come true to be joining the Blackhawks organization,\u201d said Howarth. \u201cIt has been a long journey for me and I\u2019m excited to get going. I\u2019m a big-bodied presence on the ice that likes to create time and space for my teammates. When I come into camp, I want to be a sponge and learn as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
