Stan Bowman is going to be a busy man in the next 10 months. Not only is the President of Hockey Operations and General Manager of the Chicago Blackhawks going to have to navigate a trade deadline, potential playoff run, expansion draft, entry draft, summer free agency, and the opening of next season, but he’ll also have to worry about how he’s going to put together a USA Hockey club for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics that can bring home a Gold Medal.
Bowman was officially named the General Manager for the 2022 Team USA Men’s Hockey club on Wednesday, along with Minnesota Wild General Manager Bill Guerin as his assistant GM. While this is all contingent on the NHL, IIHF, and IOC coming to an agreement to allow NHL players to participate in the Winter Olympics again in 2022, the understanding is that an agreement will be made at some point. If no agreement is made, then no NHL players means no Bowman, as well.
