The Detroit Red Wings announced Wednesday that Steve Yzerman has stepped down from his roles as general manager and executive vice president of the organization.
Yzerman will continue with the franchise as a senior adviser to CEO Chris Ilitch. The Red Wings have launched a search for their next leader of hockey operations, spearheaded by Ilitch, with both internal and external candidates under consideration.
“I am sincerely grateful to Chris and the entire Ilitch family,” Yzerman said. “This organization has given me incredible opportunities, from my time as a player to the privilege of returning as general manager. I’ve appreciated every experience throughout the years, and I’m extremely proud to remain part of this great franchise.”
Yzerman has served as the Red Wings’ general manager since April 19, 2019.
“Steve’s lifetime of contributions to the Red Wings has meant more to this franchise than words can truly express, and I have the highest level of respect for his continued commitment to our organization,” Ilitch said. “We are thankful for Steve’s hard work and dedication as General Manager and are grateful knowing Steve will remain where he belongs – here with the Red Wings family.”
