Blackhawks Prospect Jiri Felcman Re-Signs In Switzerland

Chicago Blackhawks 2023 third-rounder Jiri Felcman has signed a one-year contract extension with his current club, the Swiss National League’s SCL Tigers. The 20-year-old broke into Switzerland’s top league as a 19-year-old last season, ultimately scoring 10 points across 43 combined regular season and playoff games. He has yet to sign his entry-level deal in Chicago, and the Blackhawks hold the exclusive rights to sign Felcman until June 1st, 2027, per PuckPedia. This extension shouldn’t impact the Blackhawks’ signing decision but instead serves as a nice show of faith in a player recently ranked by EliteProspects as the Blackhawks’ No. 26 prospect.
