Career
At a young age, Shero had to decide between boxing and ice hockey. He decided against a career as a boxer and played for the New York Rovers in the Eastern Hockey League .
In the 1947/48 season he played mostly with the St. Paul Saints in the United States Hockey League , but was also in 19 games in the roster of the New York Rangers . In the next two seasons he had a regular place with the Rangers. He played a year for the Cincinnati Mohawks in the American Hockey League and for the Seattle Ironmen in the Pacific Coast Hockey League , before he had a longer-term team in the AHL with the Cleveland Barons for four years again. After two years with the Winnipeg Warriors in the Western Hockey League and one year with the Shawinigan Falls Cataracts in the Quebec Hockey League , he ended his active career in 1958.
Immediately afterwards he began his second career as a coach. His first positions were the Moose Jaw Canucks in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, the St. Paul Saints, who now played in the International Hockey League and the St. Paul Rangers in the Central Professional Hockey League . From 1967 he trained the Buffalo Bisons in the AHL, with whom he won the Calder Cup in his third season . He immediately moved to the Central Hockey League and immediately won the Adams Cup with the Omaha Knights .
After so many successes, the NHL became aware of him and from the 1971/72 season he was behind the gang of the Philadelphia Flyers . His team, also known as the "Broad Street Bullies" , played very physically. This is how they managed to survive against the original Six teams. In the 1973/74 season , the Flyers were the first new team to win the Stanley Cup after the expansion of the NHL in 1967 . Shero was also the first to receive the newly introduced Jack Adams Award for the NHL's best coach that year . The following year, Bobby Clarke's team defended the title under Shero’s direction.
For the 1978/79 season he moved to the New York Rangers as a coach and general manager, which he led into the Stanley Cup finals in his first year. After he started weak in his third season, he was replaced by Craig Patrick before the end of the season .
In the following years he worked mainly for radio and television in the area of the New Jersey Devils . He interrupted this task for a short coaching engagement in the Netherlands . In 1990 he died of stomach cancer .
His son Ray Shero is also active in ice hockey management. In 2006 he replaced Craig Patrick, the man who inherited his father in the Rangers, as General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins .
