CHICAGO _ Brent Seabrook and new Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton have a long history together.
Not only did they share an agent at one point, they also played against each other in the Western Hockey League. But that's not all.
"Jeremy and I played together when we were 11," Seabrook said. "We played summer hockey together. We played against each other and our team invited him to a tournament _ I can't even remember when it was, I'd have to ask my dad. But it was a long time ago. He played with us for a tournament and growing up we sort of followed the same career path as kids. A lot of connections there."
Seabrook isn't among the four players on the Hawks' roster older than Colliton _ Chris Kunitz, Duncan Keith, Corey Crawford and Cam Ward share that distinction _ but he's still only 3{ months younger.
"It was nice to see him come back to North America last year and get the job in Rockford," Seabrook said. "Sounds like he did some good things in Europe and with Rockford last year going to the third round (of the American Hockey League playoffs)."
