Minnesota Wild senior adviser Ray Shero, who won a Stanley Cup as a general manager, has died at the age of 62.
The NHL announced Shero’s passing. No additional details were provided.
Shero was the son of Hall of Fame coach Fred Shero.
“Ray Shero’s smile and personality lit up every room he walked into and brightened the day of everyone he met. Widely respected throughout hockey for his team-building acumen and eye for talent, he was even more beloved for how he treated everyone fortunate enough to have known him,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement.
Shero was a general manager with the New Jersey Devils (2015-20) and Penguins (2006-14), winning the Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh in 2009 as the architect of a team led by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Shero also won the Jim Gregory GM of the Year award in 2012-13.
Shero joined the Wild in 2021 as senior adviser.
“Our hearts go out to his family and friends and the countless people he impacted in the hockey community throughout his successful career. Ray was the best. He will be greatly missed by all of us,” the Wild said in a statement.
