Coach Mac Joins Red Wings
Former Mallards head coach Paul MacLean joined the NHL's Detroit Red Wings this week as an assistant to Mike Babcock. MacLean has spent three years in the NHL as an assistant coach including time with the Phoenix Coyotes (1996-97) and Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (2002-04). During his two seasons in the Quad Cities, MacLean went 112-27-9 and won a Colonial Cup. In 2000-01, MacLean's Mallards set a UHL record with just 12 regular season losses. The following season, the Mallards established a UHL record for regular season wins (57) with MacLean at the helm. Last season, MacLean served as a special assistant to the Mallards organization during the NHL Lockout.
