Eddie Olczyk and the Chicago Blackhawks sadly parted ways after nearly thirty plus years of Eddie being in the organization, whether that was on the broadcasting team or actually playing for the Chicago Blackhawks in his early days.

It was stated that the Blackhawks could not come to a agreement with Olczyk on a new contract as his expired right when the legendary voice of Pat Foley retired, right after this past season. Olczyk was well respected by the Hawks fan base and players, but he will be taking his talents to the Seattle Kraken, and it will be with his son Nick in the Kraken broadcast booth.
