Penguins Add Wilson to Front Office

The Penguins made a significant addition to their front office staff today. Doug Wilson, who enjoyed an uber-successful run as the Sharks’ GM that spanned nearly two decades, has joined the team as a senior advisor of hockey operations.

“Doug brings over 40 years of NHL experience to our program,” said president of hockey ops/GM Kyle Dubas when announcing the hire. “Over 16 years from his Hall-of-Fame playing career and over 25 seasons building consistent contending teams as the leader of the San Jose Sharks hockey operations department. Doug will serve as a source of both experience and wisdom to our entire hockey operations department. His ability to maintain high standards of performance and professionalism over two decades with Sharks is the type of consistency we all aspire to these positions. Doug will provide me and our entire program with a great resource and tremendous benefit as we get rolling. I am excited to add Doug to our management team today.”
