Good luck. GMs are usually people that are in hockey their entire life. Most of them have played or coached at some point. To pull a position like this, you really have to come from the right lineage. The best example is that while not all coaches and GMs were great players, or even NHL players, the majority of them all at least played major junior, even if they sucked. You have to network somehow, and that is still the only way in.
If you have no hockey background and want to work for an NHL organization, you're better of going to law school so you can be a suit in the front office. Not very exciting... at least it doesn't sound like it.

I suspect you actually need to play hockey for a long time so that you understand both the game and the issues the players face, as well as the industry.
You may want to think about getting a degree in law or accounting so that you can just buy a team.

Investigate a degree in sports management. It's not offered everywhere, so you will have to look around.
