Chicago ? John McDonough’s job title stays the same. By moving just a few miles across town, though, he’s got a new team to run in an entirely different sport.

McDonough resigned Tuesday as president of the Chicago Cubs – a team that is up for sale – to take a similar position with the Chicago Blackhawks, who offered him a multiyear contract he couldn’t pass up.

“I do see parallels. We have a lot of work to do,” McDonough said.

The most striking similarity is long championship droughts. The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908, and the Blackhawks haven’t captured the Stanley Cup since 1961.
