The league also announced it will participate in the next two Olympics, starting with the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina, after skipping the previous two.
“It’s an honor beyond belief to be asked to do this and I couldn’t say yes quick enough,” Guerin said in statement released by USA Hockey. “I’ve been fortunate to have many great days in hockey and this is among the very best.”
Guerin, 53, is from Worcester, Massachusetts, and was a member of the Olympic silver medal-winning U.S. team in 2002, and also won Stanley Cup titles in 1995 and 2009 over an 18-season NHL career. He’s in his fifth season as the Wild’s general manager.
