Head Coach in Sudbury the last 3 seasons. 5 seasons in Player Development for the Hurricanes before that. 1 season as a Development coach in Florida before that. Playing in the NHL before that.

Haven’t read this name in a while, but it spurred a memory. He came to our school when I was in Jr. High and gave a speech. Followed by a question period and the first kid asks: “how many goals have you scored this year?”
Stillman sheepishly raised 3 fingers. It was hilarious.

Cool, I had no idea what he was up too. Guess he was a development and skills coach for the Panthers then Hurricanes before being announced the head coach of the Sudbury Wolves since 2017
Ference was such a beauty! It was certainly exciting getting Brad Stuart that season, but definitely should have kept a team first player like Ference in hindsight. Seemed like that kind of spelt the beginning of the end of that tight knit group leftover from 2004.

Was it that Stillman hit in the 2004 run that derailed Nilsson's career?
I don't think so. Nilsson played a couple of mostly full seasons after that and then finished a half a season in Calgary. Then had quite a few seasons in Europe after.
The best part of that fight between Ference and Stillman was Andy telling the story of Chris Simon on the other side of the scrum looking at Ference and growling: "Andy.. get him!"
I remember him telling that story on the Fan 960 the season after or something like that. It was before he was traded to Boston.
