The Phantoms won their 2nd AHL championship in 2004-05. That team featured three guys, a coach and two players, who would have an impact on not one, but two NHL franchises during the late aughts and early 10s. This coach was the first captain in Phantoms history before going behind the bench. After the Phantoms' title, he became head coach of the Flyers early in the 2006-07 season, which became the worst in franchise history. He bounced back from that to win The Hockey News' Coach of the Year award the next season and has now won three Stanley Cups as an assistant with the Kings and the Golden Knights.
