MOSCOW -- Former NHL star Alexei Yashin was named general manager of the Russian women's national team on Friday.
The 39-year-old has played professional hockey for 21 years -- 12 in the NHL and nine in his native Russia.
"I think for the ladies it's a great gift for the new year," Russian Hockey Federation president Vladislav Tretiak said on the IIHF website. "Alexei is a fine man who did a lot for our country. The solution will benefit both our coaching staff and give new challenges to the general manager."..
After recording 781 points in 850 career NHL games, Yashin returned to Russia in 2007 and played for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, SKA St. Petersburg and most recently for CSKA Moscow. Yashin hasn't played since last spring and has not announced the end of his playing career.
