The 2009–10 Chicago Blackhawks season was the 84th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on September 25, 1926. The season began on October 2, 2009, with a pair of games against the Florida Panthers in Helsinki, and ended on June 9, 2010, when the Blackhawks defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4–3 in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals, giving the organization its first NHL championship since 1961 and fourth overall. For the first time since the 1996–97 season, the Blackhawks made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. The 2009–10 Chicago Blackhawks were voted by fans on NHL.com as one of the top 20 greatest teams in NHL history.[2]

In May 2021, two former players from the 2009–10 Blackhawks roster publicly accused the team's video coach at the time of sexually assaulting them during this season, sparking controversy.

Off-season[edit]

The Blackhawks were coming off one of their best years in recent history during the 2008–09 season, going 46–24–12 and finishing with 104 points. They finished second in the Central Division and fourth in the Western Conference. The Blackhawks' 46 wins were their most since winning 47 in the 1992–93 NHL season.[3] The Blackhawks' reached the 100-point mark for the first time since 1992–93 season and improved by 16 points over the past season, when their 88-point total left them three points away of a playoff berth. They were the only NHL to improve on its record in each of the previous four seasons. The Blackhawks made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and it was their second playoff appearance in the previous 11 years.[4] In the playoffs, the Blackhawks defeated the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks before losing to the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Finals. It was the Blackhawks' first appearance in the Western Conference Finals since 1995.[5]

Marian Hossa was a key addition to the Blackhawks as he led his previous two teams to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Blackhawks, however, had a turbulent off-season.[6] The Blackhawks saw Assistant General Manager Rick Dudley resign from his position and join the Atlanta Thrashers as associate general manager.[7] On July 1, 2009, the Blackhawks made a significant acquisition to the team when they signed five-time NHL All-Star Marian Hossa to a 12-year contract worth $62.8 million.[8] At the time, it was the most lucrative deal in team history.[9] The signing of Hossa by the Blackhawks coincided with the departure of the team's leading scorer from the previous season, Martin Havlat, to the Minnesota Wild.[10] Other key additions for the Blackhawks were John Madden and Tomas Kopecky. Along with Havlat, Nikolai Khabibulin, Samuel Pahlsson and Matt Walker were notable losses for the team.[11]

Tomas Kopecky was also another key addition, previously helping the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup in 2008.

Shortly after signing Hossa, the team disclosed that he was still rehabilitating a shoulder injury he sustained during the previous post-season.[12] He underwent shoulder surgery and ended up missing the first 22 games of the season.[13] During the off-season, The NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) filed a grievance, stating that the Blackhawks missed the deadline for giving qualifying offers to restricted free agents. This caused General Manager Dale Tallon to quickly sign eight players to make sure they did not end up as unrestricted free agents. The mistake proved to be a large influence in the removing of Tallon as general manager. He was replaced with Stan Bowman, the assistant general manager and son of Hockey Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman.[14] The NHL also investigated Hossa's contract as well.[15] The Blackhawks named Kevin Cheveldayoff, the general manager of the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League (AHL), as assistant general manager.[16] The team also promoted Assistant Coach Marc Bergevin to the position of director of player personnel.[17]

In August, the Blackhawks saw star player Patrick Kane embroiled in controversy when he and his cousin were arrested in Buffalo, New York. Kane was apprehended in the early morning hours after allegedly punching a cab driver when he claimed to not have proper change for their trip fare.[18] Kane was charged with second-degree robbery, a Class C felony and fourth-degree criminal mischief and theft-of-services, both of which were Class A misdemeanors.[19] He pleaded not guilty. On August 17, Kane apologized for the arrest.[20] Kane and his cousin appeared before a grand jury on August 19. While they were cleared of any felony charges, the two were still indicted on misdemeanor assault, theft and harassment charges.[21] Kane and his cousin reiterated their not guilty pleas when appearing in court the next day.[22] On August 27, Kane and his cousin pleaded guilty to noncriminal disorderly conduct charges, and were both given conditional discharges.[23]

The Blackhawks entered the 2009–10 season with high expectations.[24] Bob Duff of NBC Sports predicted that the Blackhawks would finish with 101 points, finish second in the division and be a fourth seed in the Western Conference.[3] Jim Neveau of The Hockey Writer's wrote that the Blackhawks would win the division and be a second seed in the conference.[25]

Sexual abuse scandal[edit]

On May 7, 2021, a former Blackhawks player accused former video coach from 2008 to 2010 Brad Aldrich of sexually assaulting him during the 2010 playoffs, initially staying anonymous under the moniker "John Doe", alleging that Aldrich also threatened him physically, emotionally, and financially after an off-ice assault at Aldrich's apartment.[33] John Doe filed lawsuit against the Blackhawks for failing to adequately address Aldrich's wrongdoings or to file police reports.[34]

According to a months-long independent investigation by law firm Jenner & Block that was sanctioned by the team, on May 23, 2010, the same day the Blackhawks finished a 4-game sweep to the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference Finals to clinch their spot in the finals, Blackhawks executives held a meeting about the sexual assault claims and decided they would not address them until after the Stanley Cup Finals.[35] The matter was not discussed again, and on June 14, 2010, five days after Chicago won the Stanley Cup against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Blackhawks human resources director gave Aldrich the option to resign or face termination if John Doe's claims turned out to be true. Aldrich chose to resign and was permitted to participate in postseason celebrations, according to the investigation findings.[36] He then went on to work for University of Notre Dame and later Miami University, where he resigned in November 2012 after he was accused of sexual assault there, and was convicted of having sexual contact with a minor in September 2013 while serving as a high school coach in Houghton, Michigan in March 2013. As a result, Aldrich is accused or convicted of sexual assaults in connection with coaching jobs at the NHL, college, and high school levels.[37] He served nine months in prison, being released in June 2014, required to register as a sex offender in the state of Michigan and serve 5 years of probation until January 2019.[38][39] On October 27, 2021, Kyle Beach gave an interview on SportsCentre confirming that he was John Doe, and spoke about his experiences with the Blackhawks organization after the fact.[40][41]

In the fallout of the investigation, on October 26, 2021, the Blackhawks announced that general manager and hockey operations president Stan Bowman and senior vice president of hockey operations Al MacIsaac, the two remaining executives from the 2009–10 team, resigned after the lead investigator stated that Bowman and MacIssac's failure to report the alleged assault had eventually led to the perpetrator committing further acts of sexual abuse.[42] The Blackhawks appointed Kyle Davidson to serve as the team's interim general manager.[43] The NHL also fined the Blackhawks $2 million for "inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response in the handling of matters related to former video coach Brad Aldrich's employment."[44] Quenneville, who was by then the head coach of the Florida Panthers after being fired by the Blackhawks on November 6, 2018, for unrelated reasons, resigned from that position on October 28 after meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.[45] Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz also requested that the engraving of Aldrich's name be redacted from the Stanley Cup (which was eventually granted).[46] The Blackhawks reached a confidential settlement with Beach on December 15.[47] The second case filed by the former Michigan high school student was dismissed on December 27.[48]

On February 3, 2022, Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz refused to address the controversy and became aggravated during a town hall meeting. CEO Danny Wirtz, Rocky's son, offered to explain what the team is doing to move forward to prevent future abuse from occurring at another meeting.[49] That same day after the town hall event, reports surfaced about three more lawsuits potentially coming by a John Doe 3, a former student at Miami University whom Aldrich assaulted in November 2012, another former Blackhawks prospect from 2010 referred to as "Black Ace 1", who claimed no physical assault ever happened between him and Aldrich but was on the receiving end of inappropriate text messages from him and former Blackhawks assistant/skills coach from 2008 to 2011 Paul Vincent, who claimed the Blackhawks management blacklisted him from the organization for alerting them about the allegations and pressuring them to respond to Aldrich's misdeeds in the May 23, 2010 meeting.[50] These respective cases were never filed.[51]

In November 2023, another former Blackhawks prospect filed a negligence lawsuit against the team for suppressing his complaints of sexual harassment and physical threats of violence from Aldrich during the 2009–10 season.[52]
