Ken Mark Holland (b. November 10, 1955 in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada) is a retired Canadian professional goaltender who played two seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Hartford Whalers and Detroit Red Wings. Holland was drafted in the 12th Round, 188th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1975 NHL Entry Draft. [1]
Holland is currently the General Manager, Executive Vice President and Alternate Governor of the Red Wings. The 2007–2008 season was his 11th as General Manager and his 25th year overall with the Red Wings organization. He has won the Stanley Cup four times with Detroit: the first in 1997 as Assistant General Manager and Goaltending Coach, and the latter three as General Manager (GM) in 1998, 2002 and 2008. [2][3]
His accomplishments as an executive far exceeding those he achieved as a player, he has gained a reputation as the most successful General Manager in the NHL. Under his leadership as GM the Red Wings have won the Central Division eight times, the Presidents' Trophy four times, and the Stanley Cup three times. With 493 regular season wins and 67 post-season wins, the Red Wings have won more games than any other team in the league since 1997-1998.[1][3]
