The 1929–30 Chicago Black Hawks season was the team's 4th season in the NHL. After a two-year absence, the Hawks returned to the playoffs, losing in the Quarter-finals to the Montreal Canadiens 3 goals to 2.
Off-season[]
The Hawks were coming their second straight season of winning only 7 games and finished last place in the league. The Black Hawks would make yet another coaching change, hiring Tom Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy was American-born, a Chicago lawyer, and the hockey he'd played was at Notre Dame. Training camp ran for 12 days on the football fields of his alma mater at South Bend, Indiana.
Training camp was entirely off-ice under trainer Tom Dyer, a former British Army sergeant-major. The team then embarked for an exhibition series against the Tulsa Oilers, champions of the American Hockey Association.
Regular Season[]
The Hawks surprised the league, getting off to a 10–8–3 start. However, Shaughnessy resigned under rumours that he and team owner McLaughlin did not get along. He was replaced with Bill Tobin who led Chicago to a record of 11–10–2. The Black Hawks finished the year with a 21–18–5 record, tripling their win total from the previous season, to finish in second place in the American Division, and make the playoffs for the second time in team history. The Black Hawks set team records with wins, points and goals for, and finished above .500 for the first time in team history.
Despite the brand new Chicago Stadium being built and ready at the start of the season, the Hawks played a few home games at Chicago Coliseum due to a disagreement with the Chicago Stadium Corporation. However it was resolved in December and the Hawks moved in.
Chicago was led offensively by young players Tom Cook, who at 22, led the club with 30 points, and Johnny Gottselig, at 23 years old, leading the Black Hawks with 21 goals. Team captain Duke Dutkowski led all Black Hawk defensemen with 17 points in 44 games.
In goal, Charlie Gardiner would once again get all the playing time, setting a Black Hawks team record with 21 wins, and have 3 shutouts, along with a 2.42 GAA.
