The Ducks officially named Randy Carlyle as their coach Tuesday in a move that both parties hope will rekindle past success from Carlyle’s first stint with Anaheim.
The length of the contract was not immediately known. A press conference is scheduled after it was leaked late Monday by multiple outlets that the Ducks would return to Carlyle to replace the fired Bruce Boudreau, an eye-opening conclusion to a extensive six-week search by Ducks General Manager Bob Murray.
“A proven winner and motivator, Randy has expertly managed the bench throughout his coaching career,” Murray said in a release.
