The Blackhawks prospect camp opens this weekend, and many of the organization's top prospects will be on the ice.

As has been the trend with the Blackhawks under Stan Bowman's guidance, there will be a strong college flavor at prospect camp. Of the blue line group at this year's camp, 11 players saw action in an NCAA game during the 2013-14 season; Adam Clendening also came from the college ranks, leaving Boston University after the 2011-12 campaign.

It's disappointing to see that Klas Dahlbeck isn't on the roster, but one defenseman to keep an eye on is Carl Dahlström. Listed at 6-4 and 215 pounds, the 19-year-old was a second round pick by the Hawks last summer and will be one of the bigger players in camp. He's uses his size well and is also a smooth puck handler as well.

Let's take a look at the defensemen on this year's camp roster.
