The league announced on Wednesday that Ray Shero, a long -time executive official in NHL, built the Stanley Cup in 2009 and collected the current stars -full heart, who died on Wednesday.

Ray Shiro, the son of former Rangers coach Farid Shero, reached the assistant general manager with the Senate members (1993-1998) and Predators (1998-2006) after collectively played at St. Lawrence University.
Then, in 2006, the penguins rented him as its general manager, and within two years, they designed the Stanley Cup final before falling to Red Wings.
The following year, in a match between the two teams, the SHERO team won the right to raise the Stanley Cup.
“Ray has been a key role in entering a new era of hockey game in the penguin,” Al -Batings said in a statement. “… we expand our deepest sympathy for his family and children, Chris and Kyle, and all of those lucky enough to call them a friend. Ray was a fan and loved in the hockey world, especially here in Pittsburgh.”
