Bill Armstrong, a key figure in helping to build last season's Stanley Cup championship team, is the new general manager of the Arizona Coyotes, the team made official on Thursday.
Armstrong, 50, joins the Coyotes from St. Louis, where he served as assistant general manager since 2018 and director of amateur scouting since 2010. He becomes the 10th general manager in the franchises' NHL history.
Armstrong takes over for interim GM Steve Sullivan, who temporarily replaced John Chayka after Chayka and the team parted ways in July.
Armstrong expressed his gratitude to Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo and president and CEO Xavier Gutierrez in a statement issued by the team.
