Blackhawks prospect Kevin Korchinski has learned to embrace AHL development: 'Life is a journey'

ROCKFORD — Blackhawks center Connor Bedard has matured from boy to man at remarkable speed this season. Ninety miles northwest, defenseman Kevin Korchinski has experienced the same transformation.A more comfortable, more grounded, more enlightened Korchinski — still only 21 — opened up about his evolution over the last two years at the BMO Center, the IceHogs’ home arena, on Wednesday.When the 2022 seventh overall…

Bears' playoff pursuit highly valuable in QB Caleb Williams development, and their evaluation of him

Merely by the Bears getting to 7-3 and giving themselves a chance at the playoffs, regardless of how it turns out, they’ve unlocked a valuable phase in quarterback Caleb Williams’ development. Every game the rest of this season will be high stakes as the team tries to get back to the postseason for the first time in five years.It’s a world of difference from last season and another reminder of how watered down his rookie experience was.This time last year, the Bears had lost four in a row and already fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron as they tumbled toward what would eventually be a 10-game losing streak. There was no living and dying with each game as the defeats piled up.In the same way that there’s no simulating game play in practice, there’s no simulating the feel of a playoff chase in meaningless games. This is big-time football. It’s another level. And that pressure will be a good thing for Williams, who already has shown capacity to handle it with his late-game heroics.As he took stock of the Bears’ position heading into their game Sunday against the Steelers, he simultaneously understood how much will be on the line each week as well as how important it is that he stays steady.“We feel good with where we’re at, but you also do understand that... things can still turn fast,” Williams said. “It’s us understanding where we’re at, understanding where we can be and focusing on where we are at this moment.”At this moment, the Bears are riding high on momentum and staring down the doubters. They’re in first place in the NFC North, holding the No. 3 seed in the NFC — and the odds-on favorite to let it slip. The ESPN, NFL Next Gen Stats and the New York Times playoff models put their chances of making it between 47 and 59%, with each putting seven teams ahead of them in probability.The Lions, for example, sit eighth in the NFC at 6-4, but have a 71% chance or better in all three predictors.That’s too much for Williams to think about right now. One of the precious few lessons he could’ve absorbed last season, when the Bears seemed to be celebrating their success before they even got started, was to resist getting ahead of himself.“I don’t ever flip into this [being] a higher stakes game than another,” he said. “You start falling into that trap and you start looking at records... then you start getting distracted with where you want to go.“I’ve learned that being here but also a little bit earlier in my career in college. [I’m] solely focused on being 1-0 this week and not adding or subtracting any pressure from any game... Each and every game means the world for that week.”A stretch like this where the Bears will play seven important games, six of them against teams currently with a winning record, gives Williams a great opportunity to step up. Some of the best quarterbacks in recent history got a taste of the playoffs in their first two seasons, including Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson playing in Super Bowls.It also is a necessary measuring tool for the Bears.They’re halfway to needing to make a decision on Williams’ future. At the end of next season, it’s time to exercise the team option for 2028, sign him to a long-term contract extension or do nothing and let him play out his rookie deal.Numerous factors will go into that, and it’s still more than a year away, but the way he performs in this playoff race and, perhaps, the playoffs themselves, will be part of the equation.Williams has had 10 games and about 10 months with Ben Johnson as coach, and it’s time to show substantive progress. He has been up and down this season, though the high points have been spectacular at the end of games, and the Bears need him to level out.If he can take a step forward in these circumstances, it not only would accelerate his growth, but it would make a convincing case to the franchise that it has its quarterback of the future.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to be the Bears' villain anymore

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to be your villain anymore.He knows he is to Bears fans anyway, even if he’ll be wearing the Steelers’ hypocycloid instead of a football-shaped G on his helmet Sunday at Soldier Field.“I mean, I’m not in Green Bay anymore,” he told Pittsburgh reporters Wednesday. “I feel like we can let bygones be bygones, maybe. I can, I guess.”As for Bears fans?“I hope those fans can put that behind…

Buzelis brothers — Bulls' Matas and South Dakota's Vince — stick together, no matter the distance

Growing up in the Chicago area isn’t the only thing many of you have in common with Bulls forward Matas Buzelis. Like Bulls fans, he also knows what it’s like to have to dig into the piggy bank for extra funds to watch a favorite basketball team play.There can’t be many out there who stream University of South Dakota hoops on MidCo Sports Plus more avidly than Buzelis, whose brother, Vincas — Vince, everyone in Vermillion calls him — is a Coyotes freshman guard.“After all my games, he sends me clips of what I can do better and what I can do good,” Vince said.Being in touch like that means everything.“Those FaceTime calls, just constantly texting, it kind of takes the separation away,” Vince said.Vince, 18, was a standout player at Hinsdale Central, but Bulls fans are far more likely to remember him as the little bro who couldn’t stop bawling the night Matas, now 21, was drafted No. 11 overall. Matas cried — plenty — as he hugged his family in the Barclays Center green room in Brooklyn and as he pulled on a Bulls cap, climbed onto the stage and accepted commissioner Adam Silver’s congratulations. Older sister Sofija Buzelis, who was a terrific lacrosse player at Furman, beamed through tears herself.But Vince? “Ugly crying” is a popular term for losing it as intensely as he did. In truth, it was beautiful.“I was getting texts, Snapchat notifications. I was, like, No. 3 trending on Twitter,” Vince said. “I didn’t care at all. Nothing could put me down.” Sometimes — even a year and a half later — a simple story about love just hits the spot. In a post-practice chat before the Bulls headed west for a three-game road trip, Matas agreed.“Some people are scared to show their flaws,” he said. “We’re not scared of being vulnerable and being in the limelight. We’re not scared of our flaws and we’re not scared to show them as men, especially me and my little brother. We want people to see.”So much was swimming through their heads that night as the family learned — just after the ninth pick — that Buzelis would be staying home with the Bulls. Matas thought about being 10 and riding in his grandfather’s car to and from basketball practices in Lemont, about being 11 and falling in love with the game after joining the Full Package club in Northfield, about his mother quitting her job in order to shuttle the boys between the southwest suburbs and the North Shore — 80-plus miles roundtrip, often in brutal traffic — about his father grinding at work to make it all possible, about money being tight, about struggles being real, about a future suddenly so bright and what it could mean for all of them.He heard his dad’s oft-imparted wisdom: “Continue to work hard. Nothing will come easy. Be humble.”Both parents and grandfathers had played the game at high levels in Lithuania, and Matas knew he’d be playing for them, too. Vince, who has his own NBA dreams, was experiencing many of the same feelings.“My brother was a huge part of it,” Matas said. “He knows how hard I work, how hard this family works. This isn’t just, like, a me thing.” South Dakota’s Vince Buzelis (4) soars to block a shot against Creighton on Nov. 5, 2025, in Omaha, Nebraska.Bonnie Ryan/AP Vince, who is 6-4, scored seven points in overtime alone in his first college game. In 20 minutes per game, he’s second on the team in rebounding and blocks. He scored 12 points and swatted three shots against 23rd-ranked Creighton, flashing the leaping ability that complements his physical, well-rounded playing style. The Coyotes, of the Division I Summit League, get a crack at unbeaten Missouri on Thursday (7 p.m., SEC Network).“He can do everything on the court,” Matas said. “He’s not afraid, and he works extremely hard.”But one brother is four inches taller than the other and jumps so easily, he was in the NBA dunk contest as a rookie. The dream of both being in the league someday is a big one.“I see him as an NBA player,” Matas said. “He’s capable of doing anything. In our family, we never,…

Federal appeals court halts ruling that curbed use of force during immigration campaign

The federal appeals court in Chicago signaled Wednesday it might narrow an historic order handed down earlier this month, which limited the use of force by federal agents amid the aggressive deportation campaign that swept the city this fall.For now, a three-judge panel from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals put the entire order on hold. The panel found the Nov. 6 preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge…

Michael O'Brien's preseason Super 25 high school basketball rankings

It’s rare for a top-ranked preseason team to talk about practice a lot. For several decades, the Sun-Times’ No. 1 team was stacked with star players and featured a superstar. The mood was more Allen Iverson than Tom Kleinschmidt.“We are all about stacking good practices,” Kleinschmidt, DePaul Prep’s coach, said. “Our goal is to have nine good practices out of ten. The practices are hard, they are tough. It makes the…

Ya están disponibles las licencias de manejo e identificaciones digitales para los residentes de Illinois

Muchos residentes de Illinois podrán llevar sus licencias de manejo y documentos de identificación en sus teléfonos celulares a partir del miércoles, anunció el secretario de Estado de Illinois, Alexi Giannoulias.Las identificaciones digitales estarán disponibles primero para iPhone y Apple Watch a través de la aplicación Apple Wallet, y las nuevas identificaciones móviles “pronto se expandirán” a las carteras de Google y Samsung para dispositivos Android, dijo Giannoulias durante una conferencia de prensa en el West Loop la mañana del martes.Muchos negocios y otras entidades, incluidos los agentes de la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA) en los aeropuertos de la ciudad y más de 250 agentes adicionales en todo el país, estarán equipados para aceptar y escanear identificaciones digitales. Una aplicación de verificación móvil también está disponible para esos negocios desde el miércoles. La Voz Chicago WhatsAppEncuentra más noticias en nuestro canal de WhatsApp. Síguenos. “Esta es una modernización que tiene sentido: innovación que protege su privacidad, ahorra tiempo y facilita su vida”, destacó Giannoulias durante un anuncio espectacular que comenzó con un video que promocionaba las nuevas identificaciones.De acuerdo con la ley aprobada el año pasado por la Asamblea General de Illinois que autoriza las identificaciones digitales, se seguirá exigiendo a los residentes que tengan identificaciones físicas. Las versiones móviles pueden servir como identificación, pero los negocios no están obligados a aceptarlas.Los residentes aún deberán llevar identificaciones físicas al manejar. Las fuerzas del orden no están obligadas a aceptar la forma digital. El secretario de Estado, Alexi Giannoulias, anuncia el lanzamiento de las tarjetas de identificación estatal digitales en Moonlight Studios el martes.Pat Nabong/Sun-Times Los residentes con dispositivos Apple podían empezar a agregar las identificaciones estatales de Illinois a partir de las 7 a.m. del miércoles tocando el botón de “agregar” en Apple Wallet. Se les pedirá que tomen una foto de su identificación física, se tomen una selfie y escaneen el movimiento de su cabeza con la cámara del dispositivo. El Estado verificará las presentaciones y luego emitirá las identificaciones digitales.La tecnología gratuita, que se espera esté disponible en dispositivos Android en los próximos meses, permite a los negocios escanear identificaciones sin ver toda la información de una persona. A menos que el titular de la tarjeta digital escanee su rostro para obtener su propia información, la pantalla muestra sólo su nombre y la inicial de su apellido.Los residentes nunca estarán obligados a entregar un teléfono a la policía, ni siquiera cuando presenten una identificación digital; tanto la policía como los negocios podrán “tocar” el teléfono como si fuera una tarjeta de crédito con chip para obtener la información que necesiten.“Si un bar o un lugar de conciertos necesita confirmar que tienes más de 21 años de edad, eso es todo lo que ven. Eso cambia las reglas del juego para la privacidad en la era digital”, agregó Giannoulias.Los funcionarios también enfatizaron que presentar una identificación digital no otorgará a la policía el consentimiento para buscar en el dispositivo.Doce estados más y Puerto Rico han implementado el uso de las identificaciones digitales.Traducido con una herramienta de inteligencia artificial (AI) y editado por La Voz Chicago

Quedan pocos detenidos en instalación de ICE en Broadview mientras agentes federales cambian su enfoque en Chicago

En otra señal de la repentina reducción de la aplicación de la ley de inmigración federal en Chicago, un abogado del Departamento de Justicia (DOJ) dijo a un juez el martes que la población del controversial centro de detención en los suburbios del oeste ha disminuido recientemente a solo cuatro personas.Es un retrato de la situación que se vive dentro de la instalación del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) en Broadview, que sigue atrayendo a manifestantes. Sin embargo, el informe generó sorpresa el martes, dado que el Juez de Distrito, Robert Gettleman, había escuchado recientemente testimonios sobre personas que estaban detenidas y que había hasta 100 a 150 por celda.Gettleman preside una demanda que desafía las condiciones dentro del edificio, que atrajo protestas casi diarias durante el “Operativo Midway Blitz” de los agentes federales. Se reunió con los abogados del caso el martes para discutir la logística antes de una audiencia sobre la orden de restricción preliminar el 17 de diciembre. La Voz Chicago WhatsAppEncuentra más noticias en nuestro canal de WhatsApp. Síguenos. También fue la primera audiencia desde que abogados del MacArthur Justice Center y de la Roger Baldwin Foundation de la Unión Estadounidense por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU) hicieron un recorrido por la instalación el jueves con la Jueza Magistrada, Laura McNally.Durante la audiencia del martes se compartieron pocos detalles de la visita, pero el abogado Jonathan Manes dijo que había “quizás 20” detenidos presentes en ese momento.“Todos los que habían estado allí durante la noche ya no estaban”, señaló Manes.Más detalles podrían revelarse en los próximos días, ya que los abogados tenían previsto presentar un informe de estado el miércoles y reunirse con McNally el jueves. Los abogados del MacArthur Justice Center y de la ACLU visitan el centro de ICE en Broadview el jueves.Ashlee Rezin A principios de este mes, Gettleman escuchó testimonios sobre personas amontonadas en celdas de detención sin lugar donde dormir más que un piso sucio cerca de un inodoro ubicado en un espacio abierto. El juez terminó por emitir una orden de restricción temporal con el objetivo de mejorar las condiciones dentro de la instalación.Solicitó que hubiera un tapete limpio y ropa de cama para todos los que permanecieran durante la noche y que las celdas se limpiaran dos veces al día.Gettleman señaló durante la audiencia del martes que no había escuchado hasta ahora ninguna reclamación de que su orden de restricción temporal hubiera sido violada. Sin embargo, Manes dijo que parece haber problemas persistentes con los abogados que intentan contactar a los detenidos.También se discutió la entrega de tres comidas diarias a los detenidos. Fue entonces cuando el abogado del Departamento de Justicia, Patrick Johnson, dijo que la población de la instalación había disminuido a cuatro personas.La semana pasada se informó que el comandante de la Patrulla Fronteriza (CBP) Gregory Bovino y muchos de sus agentes se irían de Chicago después de ocho semanas de intensa aplicación de la inmigración.Desde entonces, han comenzado a realizar arrestos en Charlotte, Carolina del Norte. La semana pasada, funcionarios del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS) insistieron en que el “Operativo Midway Blitz” continuaría en Chicago y una fuente de DHS dijo que cerca de 100 agentes se quedarían en la ciudad.La fuente también mencionó que 1,000 agentes podrían regresar y salir a las calles en marzo. Eso es cuatro veces los aproximadamente 250 agentes que estaban en la ciudad en los últimos meses.Gettleman hizo mención del informe durante la audiencia del martes.“No pueden resistir nuestros inviernos”, bromeó Gettleman. “De cierta manera, no los culpo”.Traducido con una herramienta de inteligencia artificial (AI) y editado por La Voz Chicago
