<p>Sutter is a first time winner and beats out New York’s Gerard Gallant and Florida’s Andrew Brunette. He joins Bob Hartley (2015) as the second coach in franchise history to win the award.</p>

<p>Sutter, 63, returned to the Flames bench in March 2021, taking over mid-season for Geoff Ward. He led the club to a .500 finish over the final 30 games of the pandemic-shortened season, but the work he put in during that season (and during a full training camp in the fall of 2021) really set the tone for the Flames going forward.</p>

<p>This season under Sutter, the Flames broke out in a big way. They finished in the top 10 league-wide in goals for, goals against, power play and penalty killing, and emerged as one of the top teams in the league. At mid-season, the team saw their schedule massively adjusted due to a COVID-19 outbreak on the club (and subsequently due to changes in Alberta&#8217;s event attendance policy that led to games being moved to minimize revenue losses). The Flames played their final 40 games over just 80 days: they went 27-8-5 in that span.</p>
<p>This is the first Jack Adams Award for Sutter, who was previously a finalist in 2003-04. He&#8217;s the second Flames head coach to win the award, following Bob Hartley in 2014-15. Brian Sutter, Darryl&#8217;s brother, won the award in the 1990-91 season.</p>
