Bill Armstrong goes back a long way with many on his Arizona Coyotes front office staff, from those in scouting to the head coach.
His new senior advisor, Larry Pleau, also has a history with Armstrong. Pleau, 74, was named to his position on Friday.
Pleau essentially fills a void in the front office left when Brian Daccord, the Coyotes' former Special Assistant to the General Manager and Director of Goaltending Operations, resigned in May to focus more on his goaltending development company and family.
"We are thrilled to add Larry to the Coyotes organization," Armstrong said in a statement from the team.
