I believe this is the best place for me to become a better hockey player and as a team, we have an opportunity to do something very special next year.”I would like to thank the Chicago Blackhawks organization for being so supportive and respectful of my decision to remain in school and continue my development. I am looking forward to next season.\u201dMitchell is a two-time member of the NCHC Academic All-Conference Team and a two-time NCHC Distinguished Scholar-Athlete<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
