The Edmonton Oilers hired Stan Bowman as general manager and executive vice president of hockey operations on Wednesday, making him the first former Chicago Blackhawks executive rehired by an NHL team since the team's sexual assault case came to light in recent years. The league reinstated Bowman, coach Joel Quenneville and fellow executive Al MacIsaac earlier this month. Bowman resigned as Chicago's GM in 2021 after an independent investigation found the organization mishandled the allegations made in 2010 by player Kyle Beach that he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldridge.

They’ve hired Stan Bowman as GM and EVP of hockey operations. 
This marks the first time a former Blackhawks exec has been brought back to the NHL since the recent scandals came to light. Bowman, who resigned from Chicago in 2021 amid the sexual assault case, has been reinstated and will now bring his extensive experience to Edmonton. 
It’ll be interesting to see how his leadership impacts the Oilers moving forward!
