The Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday named Stan Bowman their general manager and executive vice president of hockey operations, nearly three years after he resigned from the Chicago Blackhawks amid scandal.

Bowman, 51, spent 20 seasons (2000–21) in Chicago—the final 12 as general manager—and won Stanley Cup championships in 2010, 2013, and 2015. Bowman resigned in October 2021 after an investigation into sexual-assault allegations former player Kyle Beach made against the team’s then-video coach, Brad Aldrich.
