Coyotes hire Rolston as AHL coach
The Coyotes have hired Ron Rolston to be the head coach of the Springfield Falcons, the team's AHL affiliate.

Arizona Coyotes general manager Don Maloney announced today that Ron Rolston has been hired as the coach of the Springfield Falcons, the Coyotes AHL affiliate.

"We are very pleased to name Ron as our new head coach for the Springfield Falcons," said Maloney. "Ron is an experienced head coach and a great communicator. He has an excellent track record for developing players and we are confident that he is the right coach to lead our top prospects."

Prior to joining the Coyotes, the 48-year-old Rolston was the head coach of the Buffalo Sabres for 51 games during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. He spent two years as the head coach of Buffalo’s AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans from 2011-2013. Rolston guided the Americans to a record of 79-55-13-5 in his two seasons on the bench as well as back-to-back berths in the Calder Cup Playoffs. Rolston spent last season as a professional scout in the Coyotes organization.

Rolston joined the Sabres’ organization in 2011 after spending the previous seven seasons as a head coach with USA Hockey's National Team Development Program (NTDP), where he led the U.S. Under-18 team to three gold medals and a silver medal in four stints as head coach at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Under-18 Championship, including the 2011 tournament in Germany.
