The Ducks announced today that the club has signed head coach Randy Carlyle to a new three-year contract through the 2013-14 NHL season. Carlyle was originally under contract through 2011-12. That contract year (2011-12) has been revised as part of the new three-year agreement. "Randy has been invaluable to this club over the last six years," said Ducks Executive Vice President/GM Bob Murray. "He has been a true leader through thick and thin, and we are very pleased to be able to reward him with this well-deserved contract." Carlyle was named the seventh head coach in team history on Aug. 1, 2005 and has since led the Ducks to their first Stanley Cup championship (2007), Pacific Division championship (2007) and five playoff appearances in six seasons (2005-09, 2011). "I'm very grateful to be able to continue coaching the Ducks into the future," said Carlyle. "The Samuelis have laid a great foundation for success in Southern California both on and off the ice, and my family and I are happy to be a part of it."
