The Chicago Blackhawks are doubling down on Stan Bowman, elevating him to president of hockey operations in a front-office reorganization.
Bowman had been general manager and will retain that title as well.
The Blackhawks split the duties of previous president John McDonough, who was fired in April. Bowman will handle the hockey side, and the team announced the hiring of Jaime Faulkner as president of business operations. She will handle fan experience and development of new revenue streams.
Many questioned whether Bowman would be retained after McDonough left since he was the one who hired him in 2009.
