Renney replaces Pat Quinn, who will become a senior adviser, the Oilers said Tuesday on their website (http://oilers.nhl.com/).
"Tom Renney's track record not only speaks for itself, but it also speaks volumes about what type of person he is," Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini said in a statement.
"Tom is so well respected among his peers in the National Hockey League and throughout the international hockey circles thanks to his dedication and success at so many different levels."
