Wilson, 41, spent the last 18 years working for the National Hockey League, including the past three years as vice president of central registry. He was one of the main contacts for the 32 NHL teams for issues regarding collective bargaining agreement compliance, salary cap management, trades and contracts.
The Avalanche said Wilson will be working closely with general manager Chris MacFarland on all hockey-related matters, including those pertaining to player contract negotiations, salary cap management and the CBA.
