The Chicago Blackhawks have interviewed Peter Chiarelli for their general manager position, the team said Sunday.
Chiarelli was the GM of the Boston Bruins from 2006-15. Boston reached the Stanley Cup Final twice under his tenure winning in 2011 and finishing runner-up in 2013. He also served as general manager with the Edmonton Oilers from 2015-19.
The 57-year-old is currently the vice president of hockey operations for the St. Louis Blues.
Chicago has also interviewed interim GM Kyle Davidson, Carolina Hurricanes assistant GM Eric Tulsky and former Montreal Canadiens assistant GM Scott Mellanby and said they will provide further updates as more interviews are completed.
Davidson was elevated to the interim job after longtime general manager Stan Bowman resigned in October in the wake of a report by an outside law firm that found the organization mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team’s Stanley Cup run in 2010.
The report also played a role in the departure of Al MacIsaac, another of Chicago’s top hockey executives, and the NHL fined the team $2 million for “the organization’s inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response.”
Former Blackhawks forwards Eddie Olczyk, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp are helping the team with its GM search, and CEO Danny Wirtz has said the organization plans to interview candidates “both inside and outside of hockey.”
