The Chicago Blackhawk players have hired Chicago Wolves skating and skills coach Kenny McCudden to run their practices during the lockout. Players like Jonathan Toews and Jamal Mayers were doing double duty as they were playing and trying to run an organized practice so the addition of McCudden will help. "He's awesome. His drills are great," Daniel Carcillo said. "As you can see there aren't many guys out here but he keeps the line moving. They aren't the same drills so it's not redundant. It's not too hard; but it's a lot of puck-handling and things you need to sharpen up and the other stuff will come if and when we get back to work."
