Chicago Blackhawks sign Aliu


The Chicago Blackhawks signed their 2007 draft pick, Akim Aliu out of Canada by way of Nigeria. Aliu is a very promising right wing looking to follow in the footsteps of Jarome Iginla and blaze a trail for players of color in the NHL. Look for the Blackhawks to bring Aliu up slowly as they let him mature in the feeder leagues before he tries to become a regular on the Blackhawks team.
