Some choices are obvious. And when Mathieu Darche (BCom’00) became the general manager and executive vice-president of the National Hockey League’s New York Islanders, he almost immediately did away with the team’s requirement that players be clean shaven.

The NHL draft and player free agency were both held shortly after Darche was hired. But he was prepared. “I never felt overwhelmed,” he says.
