Luke Richardson eyes head coaching job

The Chicago Blackhawks have asked permission from the Montreal Canadiens to speak with his assistant coach Luke Richardson as part of an interview for their position as head coach.

According to the journalist Frank Seravalli du média Daily Faceoff, the former defender is however not alone in the ranks to fill the vacant place in Illinois. Vancouver Canucks assistant Brad Shaw is also in the sights of the Hawks, who should thus interview him. Having finished the campaign at the helm of the club, Derek King would remain a candidate for the job permanently.

He took the place of Jeremy Colliton, fired in early November 2021. Chicago could not reach the playoffs, finishing second to last in the Central Division with 68 points.

To return to Richardson, 53, he has worked for the Habs since the 2018-2019 campaign. During the 2021 playoffs, he had briefly assumed the task of pilot in the absence of Dominique Ducharme, struggling with the COVID-19.
