Finally, after numerous opportunities, Roy Sommer has broken the record. After dropping two straight against the Ontario Reign, Sommer and the San Jose Barracuda broke through with a 4-2 victory on Wednesday night as Sommer surpassed Fred “Bun” Cook with 637 career wins in the AHL.
It’s quite the accomplishment for Sommer who has more than paid his dues over the years. Sommer has spent the past 18 seasons as the bench boss for the San Jose Sharks AHL affiliate, and he has seen his fair share of highs and lows.
