Chicago Blackhawks Give Jason Dickinson The A That Corey Perry Used To Wear
Every single NHL team has a leadership core that consists of the best leaders on and off the ice. Normally it is one player wearing the C and a few others wearing an A but a new trend is to have a couple of players wear A's instead of having a C.
The Blackhawks are one of these teams and went into the season with Seth Jones, Connor Murphy, Corey Perry, and Nick Foligno wearing the A.
However, Perry had his contract terminated leaving a void and letting there be a player who could step up and wear a letter.
The player who stepped up was forward Jason Dickinson who earned the letter.
Dickinson currently has 9 goals and 14 points through 28 games and has established himself as a key leader within the Blackhawks locker room.
