John Vanbiesbrouck USA Hockey General Manager

     Former Florida Panthers goalie John Vanbiesbrouck has been elevated to general manager of the USA hockey team. They will compete in the 2022 Winter Olympics at Beijing, China in February. 
     He worked in USA Hockey as assistant director of hockey operations. Vanbiesbrouck replaces Bill Guerin as general manager. After the National Hockey League decided not to send their players to the Winter Olympics, it was not necessary for NHL personnel to hold any position for olympic hockey teams. 
     Vanbiesbrouck was with the Florida Panthers in the first five seasons of their franchise history. He at one time did hold most of the goalie records of the club. Vanbiesbrouck was a radio game analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein on Westwood One when they announced ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
