Stan Bowman, who resigned as Blackhawks GM in 2021 amid the fallout of a sexual assault scandal stemming from 2010, has been hired by the Oilers to serve as GM.
hired Stan Bowman as general manager and executive vice president of hockey operations on Wednesday, making him the first formeras Chicago's GM in 2021 after an independent investigation found the organization mishandled the allegations made by player Kyle Beach that he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldridge.
Bowman was never formally suspended, but NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said earlier his month that Bowman, Quenneville and MacIsaac could return to working in the league under"appropriate conditions," including a continued"commitment" to participating in"myriad programs, many of which focused on the imperative of responding in effective and meaningful ways to address alleged acts of abuse.
"While it is clear that, at the time, their responses were unacceptable, each of these three individuals has acknowledged that and used his time away from the game to engage in activities which not only demonstrate sincere remorse for what happened, but also evidence greater awareness of the responsibilities that all NHL personnel have, particularly personnel who are in positions of leadership," the NHL said in a statement when the three were reinstated on July 1.
Bowman, son of hockey Hall of Famer Scotty Bowman, is credited with being the architect of Chicago's three Stanley Cup titles in 2010, 2013 and 2015. He has had various jobs with the team since 2001 and was elevated to general manager in 2009. He was promoted to president of hockey operations in 2020 while maintaining his general manager duties.
