John Paddock, Head Coach
 As
one of the most successful head coaches in AHL history, paddock
returns to the AHL for his tenth season behind the bench as he
takes the reigns of the top developmental club in the Ottawa
system. Paddock is no stranger to the Southern Tier, having
coached the New York Rangers top prospects in Binghamton during
the 1990-91 season. He lead that squad to 44 regular season wins
and in to the Calder Cup semifinals. Paddock's
418 regular season victories is the most among active AHL coaches
and ranks third all-time in the AHL. Paddock has coached three
different team to Calder Cup championships (1983-84 Main Mariners,
1987-88 Hershey Bears, 1999-2000 Hartford Wolfpack) and became the
first AHL coach to post eight consecutive 40-win seasons, going
41-29-10 with the Hartford Wolfpack in 2001-02. The Oak River,
Manitoba native was named co-winner of the Louis A.R. Pieri Award
as the AHL's Coach of the Year in 1988 and is the two-time
recipient of 'The Hockey News' Minor Pro Coach of the Year honor
(1986, 2000). As a player in the AHL, Paddock was part of
back-to-back Calder Cup championships with the Maine Mariners in
1978 and 1979. Paddock's
experience also spans the NHL, spending six seasons in the
Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes organization both as a head coach
(1991-95) and General Manager (1994-96). He also served as
Assistant General Manager with the Philadelphia Flyers in
1989-90.
