Timeline

2020

On April 27, 2020, McDonough was released from his role with the Blackhawks.

2018

The Blackhawks franchise has undergone an enormous transformation under McDonough's leadership; since 2007, the team's season ticketholder base has more than tripled, and the Blackhawks have sold out 340 straight home contests and counting, leading the league in average attendance each season since 2008-09. In less than two years since McDonough's arrival, the Blackhawks organization jumped from 118th (2007) to 16th (2010) in ESPN Magazine's Ultimate Standings. The organization's ranking marked the best among Chicago's professional sports teams. In 2012, a survey of SportsBusiness Journal readers voted the Blackhawks the NHL team for which they'd most like to work. In the 2015 SportsBusiness Journal survey, the Blackhawks were the highest-ranked NHL team in the category "Team that represents the ‘model franchise’ in all of North American sports." On November 11, 2018, he fired coach Joel Quenneville after a 6–6–3 start. Quenneville ended his 10+ seasons with the Blackhawks with a 452–249–96 regular-season record, a 76–52 record in the postseason, and as the second winningest coach in NHL history with 890 wins.

2009

McDonough was also instrumental in bringing the NHL Winter Classic 2009 to Chicago, a contest which matched up the Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings in front of 40,818 at Wrigley Field on January 1, 2009. The game drew an 11.8 overnight rating and a 21 share on NBC in Chicago, making it the most-watched NHL game in almost 34 years.

2007

On November 20, 2007, McDonough left the Cubs and became president of the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago's National Hockey League franchise. The Hawks future stars had already been drafted. In 2006, Jonathan Toews was the #3 pick and in June of 2007 Patrick Kane was selected #1. In his tenure with the team, the Blackhawks have moved quickly to revitalize the team's profile and fan base, in what Forbes Magazine called "The Greatest Sports-Business Turnaround Ever." Since McDonough joined the Blackhawks, the team has won Stanley Cup titles in 2010, 2013 and 2015, becoming the first organization in the NHL's salary cap era to capture three championships.

1998

He also is credited with creating the role of "guest conductor", where celebrities, local heroes, and local high school sports champions are given the chance to lead the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch at Cubs home games. The promotion started in the wake of the death of broadcaster Harry Caray in 1998, and continues as a tradition today.

1985

One of the major innovations McDonough is credited with is the annual "Cubs Convention" which gives fans a chance to meet and interact with coaches, players and licensed vendors. Debuting in 1985, this was the first event of its kind in sports and is now viewed as a prototype for professional team and league fan festivals.

1983

McDonough spent 25 years with the Cubs (1983–2007). During his tenure with the team, the Cubs set numerous attendance records, setting an all-time mark in 2007, when McDonough was team president. In McDonough's time as Cubs president, the franchise saw success off the field, but not on the field, as the team only made the playoffs 5 times, winning one postseason series, and finishing 125 games under .500.

1981

McDonough's first work as a sports executive was with the Chicago Sting, Chicago's franchise in the North American Soccer League (NASL). He served as General Sales Manager, and later as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. McDonough was also a member of the front office when the Sting won the 1981 NASL Soccer Bowl Championship.

1953

John McDonough (born May 19, 1953) is a sports executive who is perhaps best known for his two decades with the Chicago Cubs. In 2007, he left the presidency of the Cubs to become president of the Chicago Blackhawks. On June 1, 2011, McDonough was promoted to President and CEO of the Blackhawks. He specialized in the area of marketing. On April 27, 2020, he was released from his job with the Blackhawks.
