Wild’s Guerin promoted to take over as US men’s Olympic GM

USA Hockey has promoted Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin to take over as G-M of the men’s Olympic team. He had been the assistant G-M.

He takes over two months after Stan Bowman’s resignation in the wake of the Chicago Blackhawks’ sexual assault scandal.

Guerin’s promotion also comes less than two months before the Beijing Winter Games open in February.

That leaves him one month to select a team — and perhaps a backup team — because of uncertainty as to whether NHL players opt out from participation due to COVID-19 protocols.

Rangers general manager Chris Drury was named assistant G-M.
