 Muldoon returned to the Rosebuds after the Metropolitans folded in the spring of 1924 . He followed most of his players to the NHL when most of the Rosebuds were sold to Major Frederic McLaughlin to start the Chicago Black Hawks . He accepted the position because his wife Dorothy was a Chicago native and pregnant with the family 's second child . After the Black Hawks ended the 1926 – 27 season with a playoff berth after finishing in third place in the American Division with a 19 – 22 – 3 record , he resigned because of constant meddling from McLaughlin .
