One of the more popular members of the Penguins in recent years is back in the fold.

Bill Guerin, a member of the 2009 Stanley Cup team, has been brought back to the Penguins in the role of player development coach. He will assist in the development of players in the minor leagues as well as prospects in the college and junior ranks.

Guerin finished his 18-year NHL career by spending parts of two seasons with the Penguins. In 95 regular season games, he score 57 points.

Since officially retiring this past fall, Guerin had been exploring various options in management with the Penguins.

Seems like a perfect role for him. Glad to see him stay involved in the organization.

I've said since he retired I hope we bring him back as either a coach down in WBS or in player development. I think he showed really well in his time here as a player how well he gels and helps younger players mature. I'm excited about this -- probably at a level disproportionate to its actual value to the organization -- but he's a great guy to keep in the Pens family.

Billy G played a big role in helping Sid develop as a captain. USA hockey is well represented in the Penguin organization.

Cool, I was hoping this would happen! I'm sure he'll do a great job mentoring our young players!
