The Chicago Blackhawks are sticking with Kyle Davidson.
In an announcement on Tuesday, the Blackhawks officially named Davidson as the 10th general manager in franchise history. He had worn the interim GM tag since Oct. 26, 2021, when former GM and president of hockey operations Stan Bowman resigned after the results of an independent investigation into sexual assault allegations by Kyle Beach against the club were made public.
Davidson, 33, was one of several candidates Chicago considered for the permanent GM position, which came down to three finalists in Davidson, Tampa Bay Lightning director of hockey operations Mathieu Darche, and Chicago Cubs assistant GM Jeff Greenberg.
