TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Shawn Horcoff has dedicated his life to the game of hockey as an NHL player for 15 seasons. But now, Horcoff’s focus has changed as he shifts into the Detroit Red Wings’ front office.
Just before the Red Wings’ first game in the 2016 NHL Prospect Tournament, the organization announced that Horcoff was hired as the new director of player development, succeeding Jiri Fischer, who is transitioning to a new role in player evaluation.
Horcoff played 1,008 NHL games with the Edmonton Oilers, Dallas Stars and most recently, the Anaheim Ducks.
