Chicago Blackhawks Announce Front Office Changes

June 22, 2022 at 4:33 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 12 Comments

Almost four months after affirming Kyle Davidson as the team’s permanent general manager, the Chicago Blackhawks have finalized the rest of their main hockey operations staff moving forward. The organization announced today that Meghan Hunter has been promoted to Assistant General Manager, Hockey Operations. They also said that Mark Eaton remains in his role as Assistant General Manager, Development, Brian Campbell has been named Advisor, Hockey Operations, and Karilyn Pilch has been promoted to Director of Player Personnel.

With her promotion, Hunter becomes the fourth woman in NHL history to serve as an assistant GM. She’s been with the Blackhawks organization for the past two seasons, serving as a scout and their director of hockey administration during that time. The 41-year-old had the highest points-per-game in a single season in University of Wisconsin history during her freshman year, tallying 42 goals, 36 assists, and 78 points in just 35 games. Her record stands against legends of the women’s hockey game such as Brianna Decker, Hilary Knight, and Meghan Duggan.

Eaton, a longtime NHL defenseman, will enter his third season as an assistant GM in Chicago. He’s been with the organization in an off-ice capacity since 2014, when he joined them as a development coach. Campbell has been a development coach with the Blackhawks since 2018 and also spent four years with them on the ice. He was an advisor to the team during their general manager search, ultimately opting to retain Davidson.

Pilch has five years of management experience, including three as the director of hockey operations for the Boston University women’s team and two years as general manager of the PHF/NWHL’s Boston Pride.

    2009 Stanley Cup champion Mark Eaton.

    Underrated part of that team.

      Yeah, but maybe they will pit enough other good people around Brian Campbell so he can just be the patronizing token ex-player hire he is.

      Because, of course, you’re so VERY familiar with Hunter’s and Pilch’s skills and qualifications. Riiiiight.

      So, what is it? You think possessing testicles is required to know anything about hockey? (If so, where that leaves Phil Kessel I don’t know.)

      Wilf, you are on an absolute rip today. You seem more amusingly miserable than most days.

    Gary Bettman appears to be doing the hiring for NHL clubs now. “The sponsors want this, so make it happen!”.

      You and your clan of screamers still don’t seem to grasp the extremely simple concept that the commissioner works for the NHL owners.

      You are so excited to find someone with the same amusing opinion as you that you thought you should scream it twice? Wilf, you are on fire – don’t stop while you are on this roll!

      In his defense, I assume autocorrect got him and spelled it wrong the first time.
