Hockey Hall of Famer Cammi Granato is set to join the Vancouver Canucks as assistant general manager, according to Sportsnet hockey insider Elliotte Friedman. Granato, a two-time Olympic medalist for the US including gold at the 1998 Nagano games, was a pro scout for new cross-border rivals the Seattle Kraken. She released her new children's book, I Can Play, Too, last week.
The 50-year-old played in every World Championship from its inauguration in 1990 up until 2004. She announced her retirement from hockey in 2005. Granato was inducted into the International Hockey of Fame in 2008, the US Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009 and finally the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010.
Granato is the third woman hired to a Canucks front office position in 2022. She joins former player agent Emilie Castonguay, named assistant general manager on Jan. 24 and Rachel Doerrie -- who will work as an analyst in the team's analytics department.
