Last season the San Diego Gulls had a challenging season. Key members of the team were called up to the Anaheim Ducks. Even with a shortage of quality talent, coach Dallas Eakins kept his team in contention up to the final weekend. Yesterday, Eakins was rewarded with an extension.
In a statement to the media, Anaheim Ducks General Manager, Bob Murray said:
“Dallas has provided valuable leadership in San Diego since the Gulls arrived over three seasons ago. He has helped create a winning tradition and a successful development program with our AHL affiliate. His contract extension is a testament to that.
