For Blackhawks top draft pick Henri Jokiharju, leaving Finland paid off
CHICAGO - If you're walking downtown and you accidentally run into a 6-foot-1 Finnish 18-year-old with blond hair, staring up toward the sky, try not to hold it against him.
He's just getting a good look at the buildings.
Henri Jokiharju, a defenseman from Finland who was the Hawks' first-round draft pick in June, spent part of his summer getting acclimated to his future home.
Especially the architecture.
"(Buildings) are just so high," Jokiharju said. "It's an amazing city."
