Roy Sommer becomes first AHL head coach to earn 700 wins

The San Jose Barracuda took on the Bakersfield Condors tonight, defeating them 2-1. The game winning goal came from Manuel Wiederer, in his first game back after sustaining an injury just two games into the season. The recently reassigned Antoine Bibeau held down the fort, putting up a stellar performance and hanging onto the ‘Cuda’s lead through the final frame.

The ‘W’ is a historic one for the league and for head coach Roy Sommer, who became the first head coach in the American Hockey League to reach 700 regular season victories.

It’s not the first milestone he’s reached with the Sharks organization.
