Blackhawks announce more coaching changes
The Chicago Blackhawks announced more coaching changes today. It was reported that the team has hired Rob Cookson as an assistant coach as well as naming Marc Crawford an associate coach on interim head coach Derek King's staff.
Cookson is 60 years old and was recently a coach with HC Lugano of the National League in Switzerland from 2019 to 2021. He formerly coached Hawks forward Philipp Kurashev there. He has also been an assistant coach with the Ottawa Senators, and Calgary Flames.
"Rob's extensive NHL experience will complement our staff immediately," said Kyle Davidson, Blackhawks interim general manager. "It's his fresh perspective, however, that will really benefit the team as we work on this transition. We look forward to Rob meeting us on this road trip and I know he is eager to get going with this group."
The Blackhawks will continue to look to turn their season around with these changes. They currently sit 7th in the Central Division with a 4-9-2 record.
The Blackhawks have hired Rob Cookson as an assistant coach and retitled Marc Crawford as associate coach.
Cookson, 60, coached under Crawford with ZSC Lions in Switzerland from 2012-2016. Also has Flames and Senators assistant coach experience.— Ben Pope (@BenPopeCST) November 17, 2021
