The New Jersey Devils are mourning their onetime general manager Ray Shero, who died on Tuesday.

Shero was the team’s GM from 2015 until 2020.

“Ray was a highly-respected executive, enthusiastic mentor, and most importantly, tremendous friend to many during his time in New Jersey,” Tom Fitzgerald, the Devils’ current president and general manager, wrote in a statement.

It wasn’t clear how Shero died. He was 62 years old.

Shero was the son of Hall of Fame coach Fred Shero. He worked in the NHL since the mid-90s with Ottawa, Pittsburgh, New Jersey and Minnesota. He was the GM of the Penguins when they won the Stanley Cup in 2009.

The Associated Press wire services contributed to this report.
