The San Jose Sharks have hired Mike Grier to lead the team's front office, making history as the first Black general manager in the history of the National Hockey League.
Grier replaces longtime general manager and hall of famer Doug Wilson, who stepped down earlier this year after 19 seasons with the Sharks franchise.
Along with finding a new coach, Grier will hit the ground running, with the NHL Draft set for Thursday and free agency starting next week.
