Wife of Blackhawks GM Mike Smith dies



CHICAGO -- Judy Smith, the wife of Chicago Blackhawks general manager Mike Smith, died Sunday. She was 50.

Smith had cancer and Parkinson's disease.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by her mother, a son, a grandson, three sisters and a brother.

Mike Smith took over as manager of hockey operations for the Blackhawks last Dec. 12.
