Report: Blackhawks Hire Blashill As Head Coach
The Chicago Blackhawks have their next head coach. Multiple sources have reported that the team is hiring Jeff Blashill to take over the position. Blashill was the head coach of the Detroit Red Wings between 2015 and 2022, and he led the Wings to just one postseason appearance during his tenure. Blashill replaces interim head coach Anders Sorensen, who coached the team after Luke Richardson was fired last year.
