The Chicago Blackhawks are keeping their head coach along for the next few years.

The Chicago Blackhawks added Jeremy Colliton as their head coach on November 6, 2018. The move came after they fired Joel Quenneville, long-time head coach of the team. When Colliton took the position, he was given a very tough job.

After missing the playoffs in 2017-18 with a record of 33-39-10, the Blackhawks wanted to see a move in the right direction during 2018-19. However, when Joel Quenneville and the ‘Hawks started the year off with a record of 6-6-3, it looked like Chicago was going to be out of it again.
