The Blackhawks have fired president and CEO John McDonough after 12 seasons with the franchise, the team announced Monday.
"Thirteen years ago, I recruited John to the Blackhawks because of his leadership, direction and vision. John brought all of that to the table and more. His contributions went well beyond leading the team to three Stanley Cup Championships. He rebuilt the front office and helped guide the organization toward a winning vision," Chairman Rocky Wirtz said in a statement. "As difficult as this is, we believe it was the right decision for the future of the organization and its fans.
