Blackhawks Hire Jeff Blashill as Head Coach
The Chicago Blackhawks announced on Thursday that they have hired Jeff Blashill as the new head coach. He will replace Anders Sorensen, who served as the interim head coach since December after Luke Richardson was fired. The rebuilding Blackhawks endured another rough season, finishing with the second-worst record at 25-46-11 and missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. Blashill spent the past three years as Jon Cooper's assistant in Tampa Bay and previously had a seven-year tenure as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings. He had a record of 204-261-72 in 537 games with the Red Wings, making the playoffs once. Blashill will have his work cut out for him in bringing the Blackhawks back into postseason contention, but he has some exciting talent to work with, including Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar.
