Former Chicago Blackhawks forwards Eddie Olczyk, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp have agreed to help the team in its search for a new general manager.

Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz said Olczyk, Hossa and Sharp "are respected hockey minds who have great knowledge of the game." Mike Forde, the executive chairman of Sportsology and a former executive with Chelsea FC, also is advising the team on the opening.
