SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers made a big addition to the team’s front office on Thursday.
Former NHL star defensemen, MVP and Hall of Famer Chris Pronger has joined the Panthers as Senior Advisor to President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Dale Tallon.
The move, which had been reported several weeks ago, was made official by Tallon during a media conference call.
“Chris has spent the last three years working for the League’s Department of Player Safety and is ready to move into a more competitive, executive role,” said Tallon. “One of the most dominant defensemen of his era, Chris’ winning resume and wealth of hockey knowledge will be a great asset to our hockey club.
