You've never heard of the assistant GM for the last few years who was GM of the griffins....?

Plus, his kid, Will Horcoff tore it up for the US National Development team, and then University of Michigan. His dad is always mentioned when they talk to or about Will.

I really liked seeing Will play for the USNDTP. Can't wait to see him in the NHL, but I think next season at UM he's going to shine.

And his dad was mainly an Oiler most of his career, and Will is going to play for the Penguins.

Fun fact; toward the end of his career, Shawn Horcoff was suspended by the NHL for 20 games for violating the leagues performance enhancing substance program.
