She traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks in December 2005 and still regrets the trade.

“Patrick is an established veteran on and off the ice. “His unparalleled hockey skills will be of great benefit to our team and our young hopefuls,” the GM said in a press release.

“By adding him to our group, we get a person with all the knowledge needed to build an environment conducive to victory at all levels. He knows what it takes to win and will be able to capture our players’ attention by forging a strong relationship,” Jones said.

After retiring from hockey at the end of the 2017-18 season, Sharp spent five years as an analyst on the NBC Sports Network broadcast team. He has also worked with the University of Vermont as an advisor to the coaching staff.
