TEAM MANAGEMENT

Chuck Fletcher begins his eighth season as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Minnesota Wild after being named to the position on May 22, 2009. He oversees the Wild’s hockey operations department including all matters relating to the club’s player personnel, coaching staff, scouting department and minor league operations.

Beginning his 23rd season in the National Hockey League (NHL), Fletcher has helped guide the Wild to the playoffs each of the last four seasons after a five-year absence. The Wild is one of seven NHL teams that have advanced to the playoffs in each of the last four seasons. Under Fletcher’s leadership, Minnesota has added a number of key players including Devan Dubnyk (Jan. 14, 2015), Thomas Vanek (July 1, 2014), Nino Niederreiter (June 30, 2013), Jason Pominville (April 3, 2013), Zach Parise and Ryan Suter (July 4, 2012), Charlie Coyle (June 24, 2011) and Jared Spurgeon (Sept. 23, 2010).

Since the start of the 2014-15 season, the Wild has signed Jonas Brodin (6 years), Coyle (5 years), Dubnyk (6 years), Marco Scandella (5 years) and Spurgeon (4 years) to multi-year contracts. Minnesota has also drafted Brodin, Matt Dumba, Mikael Granlund, Erik Haula, Darcy Kuemper and Jason Zucker under Fletcher.

Prior to joining the Wild, he served as the Pittsburgh Penguins Assistant General Manager for three seasons, including the 2008-09 Stanley Cup Championship team. Fletcher worked closely with Ray Shero on all hockey-related matters, including scouting, overseeing the development of young prospects and contract negotiations. He also managed hockey operations for Pittsburgh’s American Hockey League (AHL)

affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Under his leadership, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton reached the AHL’s Calder Cup Final in 2007-08, and the division finals in 2006-07 and 2008-09.

Fletcher has also been to the Stanley Cup Final in management with the Florida Panthers and the Anaheim Ducks. His extensive NHL management experience in-cludes a four-year stint with the Anaheim Ducks from 2002-06 as Director of Hockey Operations, Assistant General Manager, and Vice President of Amateur Scouting and Player Development.

The Montreal, Que., native also spent nine years in the front office of the Florida Panthers from 1993-2002, working seven seasons as Assistant General Manager and one season as Interim General Manager. In 1996, the Panthers advanced to the Stanley Cup Final.

Fletcher, the son of Hockey Hall of Famer Cliff Fletcher, graduated from Harvard in 1990 and spent one year as the Sales and Merchandising Coordinator for Hockey Canada and two years as a player representative for Newport Sports Management before making the transition to the front office.

He and his wife, Rhonda, have a daughter, Kaitlin, and a son, Keith.

Craig Leipold is the majority owner and principal investor in Minnesota Sports & En-tertainment (MSE), a regional sports and entertainment leader that includes the Na-tional Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild, the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League, 317 on Rice Park and the facility management of Xcel Energy Center, Saint Paul RiverCentre and the Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium. He oversees the day-to-day business operations of the organization and also serves as the team’s Governor at NHL Board of Governors’ meetings. The NHL’s Board of Governors officially approved Leipold’s purchase of MSE on April 10, 2008.

Under Leipold’s ownership, the Wild is dedicated to building a Stanley Cup-contend-ing franchise, playing an important role in the community through service initia-tives, providing a fun and entertaining game-night experience and building strong relationships with its fans and corporate partners.

Leipold has advocated for the State of Hockey to host premiere NHL events, including the 2016 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series Game at TCF Bank Stadium on Feb. 21, 2016 – the first outdoor professional hockey game in the state of Minnesota - and the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

A resident of Racine, Wis., Leipold completed the sale of the Nashville Predators to a local ownership group on Dec. 7, 2007, a team he owned since the expansion franchise was awarded to Nashville in 1997.

During his time as an NHL owner, Leipold has been a tireless advocate for the pro-fessional hockey industry. Appointed by NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, Leipold serves on both the League’s Executive committee and Audit committee. He was a member of the League Negotiating Committees that negotiated the Collective Bar-gaining Agreements with the NHL Players’ Association in 2005 and 2013. He is also a strong advocate for the new, more “fan-friendly” NHL, including the rule changes to promote a more entertaining competition and increased fan access to the product.

Craig and his wife Helen (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Outdoors, Inc., and Chairman of Johnson Financial Bank Corp.) have five sons: Chris, Kyle, Con-nor, Curtis and Bradford. While in St. Paul, the Leipold’s live in their apartment in the historic Saint Paul Hotel.

He owns a record of 409-192-80 (.659) in nine seasons as an NHL head coach with the Anaheim Ducks and the Washington Capitals, leading his team to a division title eight times. Boudreau became the fastest coach in NHL history to reach the 400-win milestone (663 games) on March 5, 2016, and leads active NHL coaches in win percentage. He is 41-39 in eight trips to the Stanley Cup Playoffs and is the seventh head coach in NHL history to win 200-plus games with multiple teams.

Boudreau was named Head Coach of the Anaheim Ducks on Nov. 30, 2011, and compiled a record of 208-104-40 (.647) in 352 games in parts of five seasons (2011-16). The 2015-16 season marked the fourth straight Pacific Division title for the Ducks. Anaheim set franchise records for most wins (54), points (116) and goals (266) in a season in 2013-14 and Boudreau was named a finalist for the Jack Adams Award after guiding Anaheim to a 30-12-6 record in 2012-13.

He compiled a record of 201-88-40 (.672) in parts of five seasons (2007-11) as Head Coach of the Washington Capitals, winning the Southeast Division four times. Boudreau led his club to the 2010 Presidents’ Trophy as the club set team records for most points (121) and goals (313) in a season in 2009-10, and won the 2008 Jack Adams Award. He became the fastest coach in modern day NHL history to win 200 games on Nov. 11, 2011, and recorded more wins (184) in his first 300 NHL games than any NHL coach.

Boudreau was named interim head coach of the Capitals on Nov. 22, 2007. On that date, Washington was 30th in the NHL standings. He led the club to a 37-17-7 finish as the Capitals won the Southeast Division. Boudreau, whose interim tag was removed on Dec. 26, 2007, became the second head coach to win the Jack Adams Award after taking over a team midseason. In 2008-09, Boudreau led the Capitals to their first playoff series win since 1988.

Before joining the Capitals, he spent parts of nine seasons as a head coach in the American Hockey League (AHL), including two seasons with Lowell (1999-2001), four seasons with Manchester (2001-05) and parts of three seasons with Hershey (2005-08). He won the 2006 Calder Cup and advanced to the 2007 Calder Cup Final.

Boudreau began his coaching career in the Colonial Hockey League with Muskegon (1992-93) and won the Commissioners’ Trophy as the Internationa l Hockey League Coach of the Year in 1993-94 with Fort Wayne. He also served as head coach and director of hockey operations for Mississippi (ECHL), where he won the 1999 Kelly Cup championship.

Boudreau played parts of eight NHL seasons (1976-86) with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks recording 70 points (28-42=70) in 141 career games. The native of Toronto, Ont., was originally selected by the Maple Leafs in the third round of the 1975 NHL Entry Draft. He was also selected in the first round of the 1974 World Hockey Association Draft by the Minnesota Fighting Saints and skated in 30 games with the Fighting Saints in 1975-76. Boudreau tallied 165 points (68-97=165) in 69 games with the Toronto Marlboros in 1974-75, to win the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the leading scorer in the Ontario Hockey Association.

Boudreau ranks 12th all-time in AHL scoring with 799 points (316-483=799) in 634 games. No AHL player in the 1980s notched more points than Boudreau. In 1987-88, he won the John B. Sol-lenberger Trophy (led AHL in scoring) and the Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award (sportsmanship and dedication to hockey), and was a member of the 1992 Calder Cup champion Adirondack Red Wings. Boudreau was inducted into the AHL Hall-of-Fame in 2009.

He and his wife, Crystal, have four children: sons Ben, Andy and Brady, and daughter, Kasey. Ben is an assistant coach with the Norfolk Admirals in the ECHL.
