What is the reason the Chicago Blackhawks did not renew Pat Foley's contract for the 2006/2007 Season?
Answers:
1)Over the last few years he had become very critical(and rightfully so) of the talent the team was putting on the ice as well as the personnel moves. Anyone who follows the Blackhawks knows that if you don't tow the company line you won't be there much longer
2) Wirtz says they "wanted to go another way" and split the TV and radio broadcasts so a different team did both. It was a way of forcing Foley out since the Blackhawks picked the radio team, and CSN picked the TV team(but don't think for a minute Wirtz doesn't have any say over the TV side either)
3) His contract was up, and the Wirtz family undoubtedly lowballed him. The Blackhawks are cheap so I doubt they offered him anything near what he was worth. Foley loves the Blackhawks so their offer must have been really insulting otherwise he probably would have stayed.
