He has been heavily involved with player development, scouting, managing hockey operations, negotiating contracts etc.

“Chuck grew up in hockey and has gained a tremendous amount of NHL management experience at a young age,” Shero said. “He will bring a fresh, dynamic perspective to our organization, and I look forward to working closely with him to build the Penguins into a championship team.” *

Fletcher will work closely with Shero on all hockey related matters, and will be heavily involved with the Wilkes Barre-Scranton Penguins, the Pittsburgh AHL affiliate.
