McGill's Turn


With the Calgary Flames' firing Mike Keenan, one name that better be mentioned is former ICE Head Coach Ryan McGill.
He has more than payed his dues and has produced at the WHL & AHL.
In his years with Hartford (Rangers farm club) he had some amazing successful seasons. 240 games 127-76-27 .585%. Out of nowhere he was not renewed.
In his time handling the Flames farm clubs they have done better than expected. Plus they're on their way to moving that farm club to another city for the 2nd time. That's 4 cities in 3 years.
With the ICE the club won the 2002 Memorial Cup.
New Jersey's Brent Sutter and Hitmen's Dave Lowry will be the most talked about but it would be a shame if McGill didn't fit into the equation.
