It appears two Chicago Blackhawks will be taking part in a media showcase run by the sports card company Upper Deck.

The Rookie Showcase features top rookies from different NHL clubs, for pictures and will take place at the Capitals Medstar Plex on September 4th, 2024.

The Blackhawks will have two rookies there: Frank Nazar, and Artyom Levshunov.

The pictures taken that day may end up on their first Upper Deck cards, on what is typically known as a "Young Guns" Upper Deck's exclusive, but not always elusive rookie card.

Last year, Connor Bedard and Kevin Korchinski were the two Blackhawks to get an invite to the event.
