JIM RUTHERFORD 3-TIME STANLEY CUP CHAMP
MIKE SULLIVAN
FIRST AMERICAN-BORN COACH TO WIN THE STANLEY CUP TWICE
In June of 2016, Jim Rutherford became the first GM since the 1967 NHL Expansion to manage multiple teams to Stanley Cup championships when the Penguins beat the San Jose Sharks. The Penguins victory against Nashville in 2017 made Rutherford one of just seven general managers since ’67 to win three Stanley Cups. He also won a Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006.
By guiding the Penguins to a Stanley Cup championship in 2017, Mike Sullivan became the first American-born coach in NHL history to win multiple Stanley Cups. He defeated fellow U.S.-born bench boss Peter Laviolette in the first-ever Cup Final featuring two Americans behind the bench. Sullivan became the second head coach to win Stanley Cups in his first two years behind the bench with a team, joining Montreal’s Toe Blake.
General Managers to win 3 Stanley Cups since 1967-68:
