A new era for the Chicago Blackhawks begins Tuesday with a young superstar in Connor Bedard and the start of Danny Wirtz's reign as team chairman.
When we last saw the Chicago Blackhawks play a real game at the end of the 2022-23 season, management let everyone know the team was moving on from Jonathan Toews. That made the season finale a tribute to the Hawks legend — and the official end of the Toews-Patrick Kane era. “I don’t know if it’s necessarily putting the past behind us,” general manager Kyle Davidson said that day.
Chairman Rocky Wirtz had taken over the team from his father, Bill, who had died a couple of weeks earlier. After the win in the home opener, coach Denis Savard said, “That one was for Mr. Wirtz,” referring to Bill. Now Bedard’s debut comes 2 1/2 months after the death of Rocky, whose son, Danny, assumes the chairman’s mantle. Like Bedard, Danny Wirtz has big shoes to fill.
