The Anaheim Ducks named Dallas Eakins as their new head coach on Monday. He is now the team’s 10th head coach in team history.
Eakins receives a promotion, as he was the San Diego Gulls Head Coach. The Gulls are the Ducks AHL affiliate.
“Dallas is an outstanding head coach who has worked well with our players since joining the organization four years ago,” said Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray. “He is a tremendous leader and strategist, and deserves this opportunity.”
