Ed Olczyk Named As Blackhawks Ambassador, Will Be CHSN Analyst

The Chicago Blackhawks have announced a new dual role for veteran hockey figure Ed Olczyk, who will serve as the team’s official ambassador while also joining CHSN (Chicago Hockey Now) as an analyst. Olczyk, a former Blackhawks forward and longtime broadcaster, brings a wealth of experience to both positions, offering fans deeper insight into the franchise’s history and current direction.

The move comes amid a challenging start for the Blackhawks, who entered the 2026-2027 season with a 1-4 record, including a 4-1 road loss to the New York Islanders. The team has faced early struggles without star forward Connor Bedard, who underwent surgery this offseason and remains sidelined.

Meanwhile, speculation has arisen about potential roster moves, including the possibility of trading a promising 22-year-old defenseman as the Blackhawks navigate their offseason adjustments under general manager Kyle Davidson.
