The Chicago Blackhawks selected Manson with the 11th overall pick in the 1st round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft.

In 1103 NHL regular season games, Manson, who earned the nickname “Charlie”, accumulated 2792 PIMS, good for 2nd all-time and trailing only Chris Chelios among defenseman in NHL history!

Next up was the Norris Division Finals, where their division rivals, the St. Louis Blues, also pushed the Hawks to 7 games. The Campbell Conference Finals pitted the Hawks against the Edmonton Oilers dynasty. After holding a 2 games to 1 lead, the Hawks eventually succumbed to the Oilers greatness.
