Blackhawks fire team president/CEO John McDonough after 13 seasons

If you’re working right now, then you’re probably not John McDonough.

The Blackhawks released McDonough from his duties as president and CEO on Monday after 13 seasons with the organization. He was hired as the team’s president in 2007 and added the CEO title in 2011.

“I recruited John to the Blackhawks because of his leadership, direction and vision,” Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz said. “John brought all of that to the table and more. His contributions went well beyond leading the team to three Stanley Cup Championships. He rebuilt the front office and helped guide the organization toward a winning vision.
