I guess the criteria for extending Jeremy Colliton’s contract was just a question of him showing up. But considering the current state of the Chicago Blackhawks, the coach’s mere attendance might have been the sort of the Herculean act that signaled to management “we’ve got our guy”.
Colliton has been in a tough spot since he was hired back on November 6, 2018. For a more thorough history and discussion of Colliton’s tenure check out Jimmy Lynch’s article.
