Louis A. Lamoriello is the president and general manager of the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League. Lamoriello, who has been with the Devils since 1987, has served longer than any current general manager in the league with a single franchise. Under his management, the Devils, who had been poor to mediocre for most of their first five seasons, became one of the most successful teams in the NHL. The Devils made the Stanley Cup playoffs all but three times between 1988 and 2012, qualified for five Stanley Cup Finals, and won the Stanley Cup three times. Lamoriello also served as general manager for Team USA in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, in which the US won the gold medal, and in the 1998 Winter Olympics. He played a key part in negotiating the settlement of the 2004?05 NHL lockout. In 2009, Lamoriello was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, in the builders category. In 2012, Lamoriello was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. [More at Wikipedia]
