Blackhawk GM Pulford Resigns
Bob Pulford, who saw the Chicago Blackhawks get to the Stanley Cup playoffs in each of his 20 seasons as general manager, resigned Thursday, leaving the job to assistant general manager and player personnel director Bob Murray.
“It’s something that’s been on my mind for quite a while,” said Pulford, 62, who coached the Kings for five seasons in the 1970s. “It’s time. I’ve been here 20 years and I’ve been extremely fortunate to be with the best organization in hockey.”
He will stay with the Blackhawks as senior vice president, a post he was appointed to in 1990.
