Blackhawks Dismiss Coach Richardson, Sorensen Steps In

The Chicago Blackhawks have fired head coach Luke Richardson after a disappointing 8-16-2 start to the season, appointing Anders Sorensen as interim coach. General Manager Kyle Davidson cited the team's lack of progress and poor performance as reasons for the change, emphasizing the importance of developing star player Connor Bedard. Sorensen, who has been with the Blackhawks organization for a decade, will lead the team for the remainder of the season while the search for a permanent coach continues.
