When his name was first mentioned, I looked at his previous experience and noticed that he was the coach in Vegas for a number of years when they were the Flames ECHL affiliate. I kind of dismissed that link though, thinking that it's just the ECHL and he wouldn't have had much involvement with the Flames directly.
It was interesting to hear him mention the fact that he did participate in development camps with the Flames during that time, so he had some previous experience with Gio and Wideman. Plus, Engelland played for him in Vegas for a couple of seasons.
