Penguins video coach Andy Saucier was also announced as Team USA's video coach.
In addition to Reirden, Sullivan named Nashville Predators head coach John Hynes, former New York Rangers head coach David Quinn and recently retired 18-year NHL veteran Ryan Miller as assistant coaches.
Five members of the U.S. Olympic Team's staff have Penguins connections, including Sullivan, Reirden, Saucier, Hynes (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins assistant coach, 2009-10; head coach, '10-15) and Team USA's assistant general manager Bill Guerin (player, 2009-10; development coach, '11-14; assistant general manager, '14-19).
This will be Reirden's first time representing the United States on the international stage at any level, while this is Saucier's second trip to the Olympics after serving as Team USA's video coordinator in 2014.
Reirden, 50, is entering his sixth season overall in the Penguins organization, serving as an assistant coach from 2010-14 and 2020-present. Between his two stints in Pittsburgh, Reirden spent six seasons on the Washington Capitals coaching staff, where he won a Stanley Cup in 2018. The Deerfield, Illinois native served as Washington's assistant coach from 2014-16, associate coach from 2016-18 and head coach from 2018-20.
Before making the jump to the NHL with Pittsburgh in 2010, Reirden spent three years with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League from 2008-10, serving as both an assistant coach and head coach.
Saucier, 35, is entering his 10th season as Pittsburgh's video coach in 2021-22. Prior to his tenure in Pittsburgh, the Waterville, Maine native was the WBS Penguins' video coach from 2010-12.
