Guerin, 51, is in his third season as the general manager of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild, while Drury, 45, is in his first year as president of hockey operations and general manager for the New York Rangers.

“It’s certainly great to have Bill and Chris working together in building our Olympic team,” Executive Director of USA HockeyPat Kelleher said in a statement. “They were exceptional players in their day, both played in the Olympics, and today they’re accomplished leaders of NHL clubs. Our team is in good hands.”
