Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin was named to the same role for the U.S. men’s ice hockey team that will compete at next year’s Beijing Olympics, USA Hockey said on Tuesday.
The 51-year-old Guerin spent 18 years as a player in the National Hockey League where he won the Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Selected by the Devils with the fifth overall pick of the 1989 NHL Draft, Guerin had 856 points during a career in which he played for New Jersey, Edmonton, Boston, Dallas, St. Louis, San Jose, the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh.
After his playing career, Guerin won the Stanley Cup twice as a member of the Penguins’ front office and was named general manager of the Wild in 2019.
