The Chicago Blackhawks have made a coaching change, relieving Luke Richardson of his duties and naming Rockford IceHogs head coach Anders Sorensen as interim head coach.
General Manager Kyle Davidson announced the moves on Thursday after the team's disappointing 8-16-2 start to the season. They've also suffered defeats in eight of their last ten games.
According to top insider Pierre LeBrun, the Blackhawks' plan is for Sorensen to remain interim head coach for the rest of this season. LeBrun said:
"The plan for Chicago is for Anders Sorensen to be interim HC for rest of the season at which point the Blackhawks will conduct a coaching search process at that time. Sorensen, depending on how he fares, could obviously be a candidate within that process. Hawks are high on him."
