SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Former Notre Dame standout Anders Bjork didn’t join the Bruins for the Winter Classic. Stan Bowman, on the other hand, accompanied the Blackhawks for the hour-plus drive from Chicago.
The Vice President and General Manager of the Blackhawks knows a thing or two about the gorgeous South Bend campus after graduating in 1995 with degrees in Finance and Computer Applications. He put that trade to good use, orchestrating Chicago’s three Stanley Cup titles this decade.
He was also behind the Blackhawks moving their training camp to the state of the art Compton Family Ice Arena, home of the Notre Dame men’s ice hockey team.
