Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz made his first big move in some time by firing president and CEO John McDonough on Monday. Wirtz’s son Danny, who is the team’s vice president and alternate governor to the NHL, will be the interim president during the team’s search for a new president.
Second City Hockey asked readers seven questions about the move and what should come next. Here are the results.
The initial reaction to Wirtz firing McDonough was more changes would be on the way. The next thought was the business and marketing areas appear to be doing well, so why fire him and not make changes within the hockey operations department.
