The following feature article on former Princeton student-athlete Brent Flahr appeared in the December 13 issue of The Daily Princetonian.
While established National Hockey League players Jeff Halpern
'99 and George Parros '03 represent their alma mater well with
their on-ice play, not all Princeton alumni in the NHL do their
work on two thin blades of steel. Such is the case with Brent Flahr
'96, who has worked in professional hockey for over a decade and
was named director of hockey operations for the NHL's Ottawa
Senators last summer.
"It's been pretty positive all around," Flahr said of his new job
in Kanata, Ontario, just outside the Canadian capital. "I can't
complain."
As one of the most powerful people in one of the NHL's most
successful franchises, Flahr's duties as director of hockey
operations are many - "a little of everything," according to
Flahr. He oversees, among other things, contracts, including
arbitrations and signings; pro and amateur scouting; the
organization's American Hockey League affiliate, the Binghamton
Senators; and general day-today operations of the franchise.
