Steve Yzerman has a surprising revelation about living in metro Detroit as he returns home to be general manager of the Red Wings. Filmed April 19, 2019 in Detroit.
Pat Verbeek is well familiar with Little Caesars Arena, having been a regular presence scouting games for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Now he’ll have an office there, as he becomes the first hire made by new general manager Steve Yzerman.
Verbeek, who played 135 games with the Wings and also served as a professional scout, is rejoining the organization as an assistant general manager. Verbeek, 54, worked under Yzerman with the Tampa Bay Lightning, hired shortly after Yzerman was named GM of the Lightning in 2010.
