EDMONTON, Alberta — The Edmonton Oilers have hired Stan Bowman as general manager and executive vice president of hockey operations. Bowman is the first former Chicago Blackhawks employee to be re-hired by an NHL team since the 2010 sexual assault scandal came to light in recent years. The team announced the hiring Wednesday. 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 by player Kyle Beach that he was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldridge.
