I have never heard more exhaustive praise for a coach from ex-players than I have about Troy Ward. When speaking to players about AHL coaching, everyone I spoke with had great things to say about Troy (and nobody really offered much about Playfair.)
The Flames brass seems to be happy, too. Troy's job is to provide NHL-ready bodies at a moment's notice. Despite missing tons and tons of bodies at all times, the Heat are in the playoff hunt and have provided the Flames with enough competent reinforcements that the Flames are, too.
