Ducks reward Carlyle with another extension

Hockey Betting Lines

07/23/2008 - Anaheim, CA (Hockey Betting) - The Anaheim Ducks signed head coach Randy Carlyle to a two-year contract extension on Wednesday.

Carlyle, who now remains under contract with Anaheim through the 2010-11 campaign, has compiled a 138-74-34 record as head coach with the Ducks. This is the second such extension for the Ontario native. After guiding the club to their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history in 2006-07, the club rewarded Carlyle with a one-year contract extension.

"In our view, Randy is one of the top coaches in the NHL," said executive vice president and general manager Brian Burke. "We've had an aggressive, hard- working club each of the past three years, largely due to his influence."

The 52-year-old Carlyle was named head coach of Anaheim in August, 2005 after a successful stint with the AHL's Manitoba Moose. His teams have not failed to win less than 40 games in each of his three campaigns behind the bench, the best stretch in franchise history.

"Working in Orange County for owners such as the Samuelis is a privilege, and I'm honored to be able to continue representing the Ducks," Carlyle said. "I'm thankful for the great relationship I have with Brian Burke and our hockey staff, and expect more success in the future."

A former NHL standout, Carlyle spent 17 seasons patrolling the blue line (1976-93), winning the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman in 1981. He logged 1,055 games during his tenure, skating for Toronto, Pittsburgh and Winnipeg. Carlyle tallied 148 goals and 499 assists while racking up an even 1,400 penalty minutes. He was one of the last skaters in the league to play without wearing a helmet.

After finishing second in the Pacific Division with a 47-27-8 record a year ago, the Ducks failed to defend their Cup title by bowing in the Western quarterfinals to the Dallas Stars. The club opens the 2008-09 regular season on October 9 at San Jose.
