In his role as chief manufacturing officer at Lahlouh, Inc., Mike Lahlouh leverages his experience in press and finishing to oversee the company’s manufacturing operations. He is also credited with establishing the necessary infrastructure that served as the impetus for the company’s growth in the mid-1990s. When he isn’t working, Mike Lahlouh enjoys following Bay Area sports teams like the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL).
After losing its first three games of the season and only scoring three goals, the Sharks looked to a familiar face and signed free agent Patrick Marleau to a one-year, $700,000 contract. The 40-year-old native of Saskatchewan, Canada, spent the past two seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but prior to that played 19 seasons with the Sharks. He was drafted by the team second overall in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft and is the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (1,497), goals (510), and points (1,085).
Marleau originally signed a three-year contract with the Maple Leafs, but was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes this past June. His contract was subsequently bought out by the Hurricanes, following which he became a free agent. He worked out with Sharks players in the summer, but the team originally intended to pursue younger players.
Regardless, the decision to bring Marleau back three games into the season paid immediate dividends, as the veteran scored a pair of goals in his first game back with the team.
