"I got here in 2008, the first couple of years as (Vice President) of Player Personnel," Armstrong told stlouisblues.com. "As manager, you never know how long you'll last in these jobs, sometimes they're a little fickle. It's been an honor to have been the manager for the Blues for this long and I look forward to continuing that."
Under Armstrong, the Blues have qualified for the postseason in nine of the last 10 seasons, won three division titles, and claimed the first Stanley Cup in franchise history in 2019. Since taking over the general manager duties in 2010, Armstrong has recorded the highest regular-season point total in the Western Conference.
"It starts and stops with the players," Armstrong said of his success in St. Louis. "We've been fortunate to have a lot of great players here that take a lot of pride in wearing the Blue Note. We've had great coaches, a great support staff. It's an organization that quietly goes about their business year in and year out, understanding and working hard to put a product on the ice that our fan base can be proud of and we've done that the last decade. We need to continue to do that moving forward."
