The Blackhawks won’t name a team captain for the 2023-24 season, instead letting a group of alternate captains comprise their leadership group while they figure out a long-term plan.
General manager Kyle Davidson, during a news conference Tuesday preceding the start of training camp Thursday, said the decision was made partly out of respect to Jonathan Toews — the team’s captain for the last 15 years — and partly in order to not rush the decision.
