[edit] Career
Mike Yeo was a prospect for the Pittsburgh Penguins and had made his way up to their top minor league affiliate. However, after only 19 games with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Yeo suffered a career ending knee injury. He accepted an offer to become Glenn Patrick's assistant with the American Hockey League Penguins, and remained in that position when Michel Therrien replaced Patrick in 2003. Yeo followed Therrien in 2005 to the Pittsburgh Penguins after the firing of Eddie Olczyk. [1] Together, the two helped lay the groundwork for the 07-08 season’s success, in which the Penguins produced their second-highest points total in franchise history.
Penguins color commentator Bob Errey frequently talks to Yeo during intermission breaks of games.
