Randolph "Randy" Robert Carlyle (born April 19, 1956 in Greater Sudbury , Ontario ) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and current coach . During his playing career, the defender played over 1,000 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs , Pittsburgh Penguins and Winnipeg Jets in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the jersey of the Penguins, which he also led as captain , he was recorded in 1981 with the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the best defender in the league. He then supervised the Anaheim Ducks and the Toronto Maple Leafs as head coach in the NHL, where he won the Stanley Cup with the Ducks in the 2007 playoffs .

Career as a player

Randy Carlyle began his career in 1973 in the Canadian Junior League OHL with the Sudbury Wolves . There he showed his qualities as a defender who can score as well as master the physically tough game. In his third year in Greater Sudbury, he collected 79 points and 126 penalty minutes in 60 games. In the 1976 NHL Amateur Draft , he was finally selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round in 30th position.

He immediately switched to the pros and played 45 games for the Maple Leafs in his first season, but was also used for their farm team , the Dallas Black Hawks in the CHL . The use of the Maple Leafs was almost prevented by the Cincinnati Stingers from the WHA competition . Also in 1976 Carlyle was selected by the Stingers in the WHA Amateur Draft in the first round in seventh place and he signed a contract with the team, which he denied to the management of the Maple Leafs. The Stingers eventually threatened Carlyle with a breach of contract lawsuit, but the two teams managed to reach an agreement and Carlyle stayed in Toronto.

After only two years in Toronto, Carlyle was transferred to the Pittsburgh Penguins in June 1978 . He had only scored 18 points in his first two years in Toronto, he made 47 points in the 1978/79 season and he developed into one of the best defenders of those years. 1980/81 he managed with 83 points in 76 games, the best points yield of his career and was awarded the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the best defender of the NHL .

At the beginning of the 1981/82 season he was named team captain of the Penguins and remained so until he was transferred to the Winnipeg Jets on March 5, 1984 . His best year in Winnipeg was 1987/88 when he scored 59 points. He also set a personal record with 210 penalty minutes. From 1989 to 1991 he led the team on the ice as team captain, then played for the Jets for two more years before ending his career in 1993.

Career as a trainer and manager

Randy Carlyle stayed with the organization of the Winnipeg Jets after the end of his playing career and worked for the team as a radio commentator and as a member of the PR department. In 1995 he became an assistant trainer for the Jets, but the following year they moved to Phoenix and renamed themselves Phoenix Coyotes . Carlyle stayed in Winnipeg and only a few months later became an assistant coach for the Manitoba Moose of the International Hockey League . During the season he took on the post of head coach and also became the team's general manager. After the 1998/99 season, which the team finished with 47 wins in 82 games, he was named General Manager of the Year by the IHL.

In 2000 he gave up the post as General Manager. At the end of the 2000/01 season, the IHL was dissolved and the team moved to the American Hockey League . However, Carlyle stopped coaching Manitoba in the summer of 2001, but joined the team as president of the franchise in the first AHL season.

In 2002 he broke away completely from the Manitoba Moose and became an assistant coach with the Washington Capitals in the NHL and stayed with the team for two years before returning to Winnipeg. In the 2004/05 season he trained again the Manitoba Moose and led them to the semifinals of the Calder Cup .

In August 2005, Carlyle signed a contract as the head coach of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in the NHL. He led the team into the final of the Western Conference in the 2005/06 season and was able to set new franchise records in his first season as head coach with 43 wins, 98 points and 26 home wins.

The team was renamed Anaheim Ducks in the summer of 2006 and under Carlyle it was one of the favorites for the Stanley Cup in the 2006/07 season . The Ducks lived up to their role as favorites and won the Stanley Cup in the final series against the Ottawa Senators . In the following years the team did not succeed in playing for the Stanley Cup. After the Californians missed the finals for the first time after the lockout in the 2009/10 season , they managed to move into the playoffs one season later thanks to an excellent final spurt. In this they failed in the first round against the Nashville Predators . In August 2011, Carlyle's contract, which had been limited to the end of the 2011/12 season, was extended ahead of schedule until the end of the 2013/14 season. In early December 2011 Carlyle was replaced by Bruce Boudreau as head coach of the Ducks. The Californians also dismissed the two assistant coaches Dave Farrish and Mike Foligno together with Carlyle . On March 2, 2012, he finally found a new job as head coach of an NHL team when the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Carlyle after Ron Wilson's dismissal.

After four seasons as head coach of the Maple Leafs, General Manager Dave Nonis fired him in January 2015; Peter Horachek , who previously acted as assistant coach, took over the interim successor. In June 2016, he returned as head coach to the Anaheim Ducks, where he succeeded the dismissed Bruce Boudreau . He led the team to the playoffs again twice before being sacked in February 2019 during the extremely weak 2018/19 season.
