After his retirement, Stevie-Y was far from done with hockey. Almost immediately, he was hired as the Vice President of the Red Wings, and proceeded to win a fourth ring just two years later in 2008. The very next year, the Redwings made it back to the Final before falling in game seven to the Pittsburgh Penguins by just a single goal. After one more year in the Red Wings front office, Yzerman was hired to be the new general manager of the middling Tampa Bay Lightning. This would be a new challenge for him as the Lightning had missed the playoffs in the previous three seasons, and in his entire career as a player and in the front office, Yzerman had only missed the playoffs twice.
