Chicago Blackhawks News: John McDonough released from team
The Chicago Blackhawks have done a lot of winning with John McDonough as President and CEO of the organization. However, that winning has slipped away in the last 5 years.
Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz released McDonough today in a release that went out to the public. While he was instrumental in turning this organization around when he joined over a decade ago, things have fallen off.
The Blackhawks were facing a tough challenge going into the 2019-20 season, with jobs on the line they had to make the playoffs. With the season on pause due to COVID 19 and the Blackhawks on the outside looking in for a playoff position, this team failed to turn things around again.
