The Ducks announced today that the club has extended the contract of Head Coach Bruce Boudreau for two additional seasons. Boudreau, who had one year remaining on his contract, is now signed through the 2016-17 NHL season.
 
“Bruce has done a very good job over the last several years, and deserves the opportunity to take this team deep into the playoffs,” said Ducks Executive Vice President/GM Bob Murray. “We’re happy to have this contract complete before training camp, so our complete focus can be on winning hockey games.”
 
Boudreau has the top winning (points) percentage in the NHL among all active coaches (min. 100 games; 312-143-62, .663%). He led Anaheim to the best record in the Western Conference for the first time in club history last year (54-20-8), including a second straight division title and club-record 116 standings points. 
 
“I couldn’t be more excited and would like to thank the Samuelis, Michael Schulman and Bob Murray for extending my contract,” said Boudreau. “I’m determined not only to win, but to do it here, for this organization that has treated me so well. I can’t wait for training camp to get started.”
