The 2020-21 season is in the books for the Chicago Blackhawks. As a team, they finished their campaign with a record of 24-25-7, for 55 points in 56 games. This was good for sixth place in the Discover Central Division and 21st in the league. While every team ultimately wants to earn a postseason berth, the Blackhawks knew this wasn’t in the cards this season. They’re in rebuilding mode, with a focus on building towards the future by developing as individuals and as a team.

Gail Kauchak has covered the Chicago Blackhawks as a content writer since 2014. She previously wrote for Fansided’s Blackhawk Up, and has been part of The Hockey Writer’s team since 2017. It’s not always easy to balance life’s responsibility’s with one’s passion, but Gail’s doing her best to make it happen. Let’s put it this way; she’s probably reading and writing about hockey instead of cooking and cleaning. Shh, don’t tell her husband!
Follow Gail for her unique commentary about this storied franchise. And be sure to catch her and the rest of the Blackhawks’ crew on their weekly Blackhawks Banter show, as well as follow her on Twitter.
