Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin has been announced as Team USA’s general manager for the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics. He will be in charge of putting together a team comprised of American-born players — that will hopefully include NHL players — to compete for gold.
Initially set to be the assistant to Stan Bowman before he was ousted due to the cover-up of the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault in 2010, Guerin is entering in a position with an even brighter-than-usual spotlight upon him.
Bowman has dealt with the consequences of being in charge as a video coach sexual assaulted a player on his team, and then proceeded to cover it up for approximately a decade.
