During the NHL lockout, on November 5, 2012, Peckham signed with the San Francisco Bulls of the ECHL to keep in game shape.[3] He played in four games for 11 penalty minutes before leaving the team, never reaching NHL physical form.
On July 19, 2013, the Chicago Blackhawks signed Peckham as a free agent to a one-year contract.[4] He was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs for the duration of the 2013–14 season.
