Report: Shane Doan joins NHL's hockey ops department

Shane Doan will reportedly soon be working for the NHL.

The retired former Arizona Coyotes forward has joined the league's hockey operations department and will work under Colin Campbell, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Doan will attend general managers meetings and assist Campbell, Kris King, and the rest of the hockey ops group, LeBrun reports.

The role will apparently be similar to the ones previously served by Brendan Shanahan and Rob Blake, both of whom later moved on to front-office roles with NHL clubs.

The 41-year-old retired as a player in August after more than two decades with the original Winnipeg Jets/Coyotes franchise.
