Blackhawks to reinstate asst. Marc Crawford after investigation

The Chicago Blackhawks concluded their investigation of abuse allegations against suspended assistant coach Marc Crawford, and announced Monday that he will resume assistant coaching duties on Jan. 2.

The Blackhawks said in a statement that they believe Crawford has taken steps to deal with his behavior and has learned from his past actions. They also noted that there have been no reported incidents during Crawford's tenure with the team.

Chicago launched a "thorough review" of Crawford on Dec. 2 after several former players came forward with examples of Crawford's abusive conduct during his previous coaching jobs.
