With the shocking news of Steve Yzerman stepping down as General Manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning, many fans are left wondering about the new person in charge. Julien BriseBois takes over after spending the last eight seasons under Yzerman as an Assistant General Manager. Assistant GMs general toil in the shadows, playing an important part in the front office while often not getting the same kind of spotlight that the General Manager or even the Director of Scouting get.
BriseBois got his start in hockey with the Montreal Canadiens during the 2001-02 season as their director of legal affairs.
