New Chicago Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill hopes to install winning habits during his first training camp next month.
Since the front office did not make any major offseason moves to upgrade the roster, he will have to improve the team intangibly if the club hopes to get out of the Central Division cellar. Although hiring Blashill could be the upgrade the Hawks needed all along.
Chicago Hockey Now's and CHGO podcast co-host Greg Boysen looked into the systems Blashill likes to run. Blashill prefers a 2-1-2 scheme than former head coach Luke Richardson's 1-2-2 clog the middle of the ice system.
