SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The San Jose Sharks hired Hall of Fame defenseman and former Stanley Cup winning coach Larry Robinson as associate coach on Monday.
The Sharks had been looking to add a former player who could help the penalty kill unit to the staff and Robinson fit the bill with his vast experience on the ice and as a coach.
"His resume speaks for itself," said general manager Doug Wilson, who was Robinson's defensive partner on Team Canada in the 1984 Canada Cup. "There's nobody in this business that I respect more as a player, as a coach, or as a person than Larry. It's an exciting day for our organization."
