Darryl John Sutter (born August 19, 1958 in Viking, Alberta) was a Canadian forward player and coach, and current general manager of the Calgary Flames in the National Hockey League. He is one of seven Sutter brothers, six of whom made the NHL (Brent, Brian, Darryl, Duane, Rich and Ron). Darryl Sutter is the current general manager of the Calgary Flames, and was also its head coach before resigning that position on July 12, 2006. Sutter has also coached for the San Jose Sharks and the Chicago Blackhawks, the team with which he spent his entire NHL playing career.
As a player, Darryl spent 5 years in the minor league including a year in Japan where he was rookie of the year. He stands 5 foot 11 inches and his playing weight was 176 pounds. Darryl was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 1978 in the 11th round as the 179th pick overall. In his NHL career as a player, he only played for the Blackhawks and scored a total of 279 points (161+118) in 406 regular season games + 43 points (24+19) in 51 playoffs games. He was a well respected hard working left winger but he was never an all star and he never won the Stanley Cup. His last season as a player was in 1986–87.
On July 12, 2006, Sutter made the choice to step down as the Calgary Flames head coach. He has said that he found it difficult to handle the duties of both jobs of head coach and GM of the Flames. Sutter compiled a 107–73–26 record in two-plus seasons behind the Calgary bench, joining the Flames after head coaching stints in Chicago and San Jose. The new head coach of the Flames was Jim Playfair. However a disappointing first round loss to the Red Wings in 06/07, caused Sutter to hire Mike Keenan to be the new coach, with Playfair assuming a new position as Associate Coach. [1]
