Where do the Blackhawks go from here? Five steps to fixing them on the ice

The Chicago Blackhawks' fall from grace has been one of the steepest in NHL history.

The team's calamitous mishandling of former player Kyle Beach's claims that he was sexually assaulted by former video coach Brad Aldrich in 2010 has led to sweeping changes. General manager Stan Bowman and senior director of hockey operations Al MacIsaac both resigned after an investigation into the matter was released. The Blackhawks were fined $2 million by the NHL.

The tarnish on the team's Stanley Cup win -- from which Aldrich's name was removed -- was so severe that it resulted in the Blackhawks postponing the number retirement for Marian Hossa due to poor timing.
