Red Wings announce promotion for Shawn Horcoff

With the departure of Pat Verbeek to the Anaheim Ducks, the Detroit Red Wings announced on Friday that former NHLer Shawn Horcoff has been promoted to assistant general manager and general manager of their AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins.

"I'm very excited for my new role with the Red Wings and look forward to continuing the winning culture and tradition in Grand Rapids," Horcoff said. "I've been very fortunate to establish relationships with the players, coaches and front office personnel within the Red Wings organization over the last six years and I'm excited for the opportunity to continue developing our prospects in Grand Rapids and helping them become impactful players at the NHL level."

The 43-year-old has spent the past six seasons in the player development side of things with the Red Wings. He spent fifteen seasons in the National Hockey League playing for Edmonton, Dallas and Anaheim, tallying 511 points in 1,008 career games.

"Shawn has a tremendous work ethic and has done a great job developing the prospects within our organization, helping them prepare for the next steps in their careers," said Yzerman. "The relationships he's formed within the organization - and throughout the hockey community - make him a valuable asset to our future both in Detroit and Grand Rapids, and I look forward to continue working alongside him."
