Named to his position with the Panthers in November 2020, Peterson is believed to be the first Black assistant GM in the NHL. In November 2023, he was named general manager of the 2024 United States Men’s National Team, becoming the first Black executive to hold that position. Peterson logged 18 games with the Griffins as a defenseman in 2008-09, recording one assist, four penalty minutes and an even plus-minus rating.
As the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs dawned in April, 13 of the 16 teams claimed a former Griffin within their player, coaching or hockey operations ranks.
