25 Memorable Moments from the Pittsburgh Penguins’ 2010-2011 Season #21: Bill Guerin’s Retirement Ceremony It was sad to see Bill Guerin retire, but it was really nice that he decided to retire a Penguin.  I’m excited to see what Billy will do as a member of the Penguins’ staff as the player development coach! “I went to camp in Philly and I tried it,” Guerin said. “I was OK with it being over. My heart was here, and there was no reason for me to keep hanging on. I ended with a good year. That’s how I wanted it. I feel like I’m going out on my terms.” source

#18: The Alumni Game

Wasn’t it cool to see all these guys together on the ice again!?  Especially for those of us who might not have even been born yet or were too young to notice when they were in the NHL!  And, because I was there I can tell you first hand….it was SO COOL.

Billy Guerin- Player Development Coach! »

The Pittsburgh Penguins have hired former player and Stanley Cup champion Bill Guerin as player development coach, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero.

In his new role, Guerin, 40, will be responsible for working with young prospects throughout the Penguins’ organization – assisting in the development of players in the minor leagues as well as junior and college hockey.
 
Guerin played 18 NHL seasons for eight teams, recording 429 goals and 427 assists for 856 points and winning two Stanley Cups.
 
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound right winger played 95 games for the Penguins over the final two seasons of his career before retiring in 2010. He was an essential part of the Penguins’ 2009 Stanley Cup championship after being acquired at the March, 2009 trade deadline.
 
“Billy has only been retired as a player for one year, so he brings a new and very contemporary perspective to the position,” Shero said.  “He is going to be a big asset to our young prospects throughout the organization, and to our staff.”
so i guess during the wilkes-barre/scranton penguins game last night, bill guerin was behind the bench!  i don’t know if he was just standing there or if he was actually coaching, but either way that’s really cool…I wonder if he will end up in some kind of coaching position with the penguins in the next few years?  for more pictures and details, click here.
