The offseason technically hasn’t started, but the Blackhawks have been busy. They recently hired a third assistant coach and it was a great move.
The newest addition to the coaching staff is Marc Crawford. Crawford was the Ottawa Senator’s interim head coach last season, but they decided to part ways.
Their loss is the Blackhawks’ gain. Crawford brings a ton of NHL coaching experience (18 years) to a young Blackhawks’ coaching staff. He won a Stanley Cup as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche during the 1995-96 season.
Former Blackhawks’ head coach, Joel Quenneville, was an assistant coach on Crawford’s staff during the 1995-96 season.
