The Edmonton Oilers have named former Chicago Blackhawks leader Stan Bowman as general manager and EVP of hockey operations.

Bowman will replace Ken Holland, who held the position from 2019 until the Oilers decided not to renew his contract following the team's loss in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final.

Bowman previously served as general manager of the Blackhawks from 2009 to 2021. He was banned from the league in October 2021 following an investigation into team leadership's handling of sexual assault allegations against former video coach Brad Aldrich in 2010.
