General Manager of the Minnesota Wild, Liam Guerin

Guerin knew he needed to make an immediate difference after receiving Leipold’s call, so he began by signing Boldy and other minor-league players.

His daughter Lexi currently plays junior hockey for the Wayzata Ice Wolves and has scored two points in 21 games this season, to the delight of her parents. They are extremely proud of Lexi’s accomplishments.
