HISTORY OF AFFILIATION | EST. 1956

Club Affiliation History

After three seasons with the Portland Pirates, the Buffalo Sabres renewed their affiliation with the Rochester Americans before the 2011-12 season. The 2019-20 season will mark the 38th season of affiliation between the Sabres and Amerks, one of the longest relationships between and NHL team and its AHL affiliate.

The Amerks are entering their historic 64th season in the American Hockey League and the team will once again be an essential pipeline for future Sabres stars. It was during the 1979-80 campaign that the two organizations first formed a professional hockey partnership. Billy Inglis was the first head coach of the Amerks during the affiliation. Future coaches would include Mike Keenan, Joe Crozier, Jim Schoenfeld, Don Lever, John Van Boxmeer, John Tortorella, Brian McCutcheon and Randy Cunneyworth. Both Keenan (New York Rangers, 1994) and Tortorella (Tampa Bay Lightning, 2004) went on to coach NHL teams to Stanley Cup victories.

In 37 years of affiliation, the Amerks have compiled a record of 1,399-1,137-280-35 in 2,852 regular-season games and captured nine regular-season titles. During that period, the Amerks have captured three Calder Cup Championships (1983, 1987 and 1996) and have advanced to the Calder Cup Finals six times.

The Sabres and Pirates enjoyed a successful three-year affiliation (2008-09—2010-11), with the Pirates compiling a 131-79-16-13 overall record and a first-place finish in the Atlantic Division in 2010-11. During the three-year span, three Pirates players were named Dudley “Red” Garrett Memorial Award winners, an award given to the AHL’s most outstanding rookie: Nathan Gerbe (2008-09), Tyler Ennis (2009-10) and Luke Adam (2010-11).

Besides the Sabres, the Amerks have been affiliated with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers.

Coaching Staff

HEAD COACH

Rochester Americans General Manager Randy Sexton named Chris Taylor head coach of the Amerks on June 30, 2017. Taylor, who is just the 12th former Amerk to be named head coach and 32nd overall in the 64-year history of the franchise, enters his third season at the helm of the Amerks in 2019-20. Over the previous two seasons, Taylor has compiled an 83-61-8 record and led his team to consecutive playoff appearances.

This past season, Rochester finished with the third-best record (46-23-5-2) in the AHL behind only Charlotte and Syracuse, and their 46 wins were the most by an Amerks team since 2006-07. Taylor became the first bench boss to lead his team to the 40-win mark since Benoit Groulx (44) in 2009-10. Earlier in the year, he also became the first head coach to lead his team to 30 or more wins in each of his first two seasons behind the bench since Hall of Famer Randy Cunneyworth, the all-time winningest coach in franchise history.

During the 2017-18 season, his first as head coach, Taylor guided Rochester to a 37-22-11-6 (91 points) regular-season record and a return trip back to the postseason for the first time in three years. The Amerks finished with the third-best record in the AHL’s North Division standings in 2017-18 under Taylor, who became the first head coach to lead the Amerks to the Calder Cup Playoffs in his first season since former colleague Chadd Cassidy. In addition to helping the Amerks snap a three-year playoff drought, Taylor assembled one of the top special teams’ units that ranked among the top five in both power-play efficiency (18.3% - 5th) and penalty-killing (84.1% T-4th) in the Eastern Conference.

Taylor, who previously spent a total of 14 seasons in Rochester as a player and coach, returned to the organization after serving as an assistant coach with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins during the 2016-17 campaign. He helped guide the Penguins to an AHL-best 51-20-3-2 (107 points) overall record, winning the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as regular season champions while also leading Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to its 14th straight Calder Cup Playoff appearance. The Penguins also finished with the AHL’s top defense under Taylor, allowing a league-low 170 goals-against over 76 games in 2016-17. Additionally, Taylor was instrumental in the development of several Penguins prospects with at least 15 different players earning NHL call-ups throughout the year as Pittsburgh captured its second consecutive Stanley Cup championship.

Taylor first joined the Amerks staff as development coach prior to the 2011-12 season following a successful 19-year professional career as a player that saw him become one of the all-time Amerk greats to ever don the red, white and blue. He was elevated to assistant coach on Feb. 25, 2013, a position he retained through the 2015-16 campaign before returning as head coach for the start of the 2017-18 season.

Excluding the 2016-17 season, the Amerks have finished in third place or better in the AHL’s North Division standings and have advanced to the postseason in five of the previous seven years with Taylor on the coaching staff. In 2013-14, Taylor helped guide the Amerks to a record of 37-28-6-5 (85 points) and a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive year. He also oversaw a power-play unit that ranked 10th in the AHL with a 19.8% efficiency, marking the second straight year that the Amerks have ranked in the top 10 in man-advantage scoring. Over the course of the season, a total of 16 different players appeared in games for both the Amerks and Sabres as the Rochester coaching staff continued to successfully develop NHL players.

In his first season as a member of the Amerks coaching staff in 2011-12, Taylor helped guide the team to a 36-26-10-4 record and a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs. As development coach, Taylor was primarily responsible for working with the team’s forwards. During the season, a total of 11 Amerks players (seven forwards) were called up to the Buffalo Sabres, including left wing Marcus Foligno, who worked extensively with Taylor during the season and was named the NHL Rookie of the Month for March after scoring 11 points in 11 games with the Sabres. After spending parts of nine seasons with the Amerks between 1999 and 2011, Taylor finished his playing career ranked among the franchise’s all-time leaders in assists (3rd, 339), games played (4th, 519), points (5th, 481) and goals (10th, 142). He also served as team captain during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons and was an alternate captain during several other campaigns. Taylor received perhaps the highest honor of his career during the 2014-15 season when he was unanimously inducted into the Amerks Hall of Fame on Jan. 10, 2015 in his first year of eligibility, becoming the 56th member of the prestigious club.

A member of the Amerks’ 50th Anniversary Team, Taylor is also a three-time Amerks team MVP and scoring champion (2001-02, 2002-03, 2004-05) and is the only player in franchise history to achieve those two feats in the same season on three occasions. During his final season as a player in 2010-11, Taylor ranked second on the Amerks in scoring with 51 points (10+41) in 72 games. He also finished second on the team in scoring the previous year with 61 points (17+44) when he returned to Rochester following a three-year stint in Germany, where he played for Frankfurt and led the team in scoring all three seasons.

During the 2004-05 campaign in which the Amerks won the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy with the AHL’s best regular season record, Taylor was the Amerks scoring leader with 79 points (21+58) and was honored with the AHL’s Fred T. Hunt Award for sportsmanship, determination and dedication to the game of hockey. Taylor also shares the franchise record for most assists in a single game with six, set on Oct. 21, 2005.During his pro career, Taylor appeared in 149 NHL games with the New York Islanders, Boston Bruins and Sabres, recording 32 points (11+21) and 48 penalty minutes. Of those 149 games, 90 came in a Buffalo uniform. In 2003-04, he set NHL career-highs in games played (54), goals (6), assists (6) and points (12) while with the Sabres.

Prior to joining the Sabres/Amerks organization in 1999, Taylor won two Turner Cup Championships with Denver and Utah of the International Hockey League. The Stratford, Ontario, native was originally drafted by the Islanders in the second round (27th overall) of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft and finished his pro career with 1,297 games played at the NHL, AHL, IHL and European levels.

ASSISTANT COACH

Rochester Americans assistant coach Gord Dineen enters his 18th season as an AHL coach and third with the Amerks in 2019-20.

The Amerks finished among the top three teams in the AHL’s North Division last season and advanced to the postseason for the second straight year with Dineen, who works primarily with the team’s defensemen.

Dineen’s biggest success story since joining Rochester’s coaching staff has been centered around Zach Redmond, who last season was honored with the Eddie Shore Award as the AHL’s outstanding defenseman. The veteran blueliner finished the 2018-19 regular season with career-best totals of 21 goals (tops among all AHL defensemen) and 50 points, along with a plus-13 rating. He tied for the overall league lead with nine game-winning tallies and ranked first among blueliners with 10 power-play goals (tied) and 200 shots on goal. Redmond, who broke a 46-year-old franchise record

for goals by a defenseman in a single season, was also voted a First Team AHL All-Star following a Second Team selection in 2017-18 when he was just one of three AHL blueliners to lead his respective team in scoring.

Additionally, six of the 13 players that were recalled by the Buffalo Sabres last season were defensemen under Dineen’s watch, including the highly touted pairing of Lawrence Pilut and Will Borgen, who combined for 37 games with the big club in 2018-19.

During the 2017-18 season, his first with Rochester, Dineen commanded an immensely skilled defensive corps, featuring a balance of established veterans and a crop of young prospects, that ranked among the top of the AHL in terms of offensive production. Five of the 15 defensemen he worked closely with also saw time in the NHL with the Sabres.

Prior to joining Rochester’s coaching staff, Dineen held various roles over eight seasons with the AHL’s Toronto Marlies, including assistant coach (2009-14), head coach (2014-15) and associate coach (2015-17). During his time in Toronto, Dineen helped guide the team to six 40-win seasons, four division titles and a regular-season championship.

As an associate coach during the 2015-16 season, Dineen helped the Marlies to an AHL-best 54-21-1 record, winning the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as regular season champions while also leading Toronto to its fourth North Division title in five years. The Marlies also advanced to the postseason in each of the last six years with Dineen behind the bench, including a trip to the Calder Cup Finals in 2012 and two other appearances in the Western Conference Finals.

Prior to the 2014-15 season, Dineen was elevated to head coach of the Marlies, leading the team to a 40-27-9 overall record, good for second place in the AHL’s North Division, and a berth in the playoffs.

Dineen joined the Marlies after serving as head coach of the Iowa Chops for the 2008-09 season. He began his pro coaching career as the assistant coach of the AHL’s Louisville Panthers in 2000-01 before two years as head coach with the ECHL’s Macon Whoopee (2001-02) and Richmond Renegades (2002-03). He also held several AHL coaching stints as the assistant coach of the Springfield Falcons (2003-04), Utah Grizzlies (2004-05), San Antonio Rampage (2005-07) and Portland Pirates (2007-08).

A native of Toronto, Ontario, Dineen enjoyed an 18-year pro playing career as a defenseman between 1982 and 2000. A second-round pick of the New York Islanders in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, Dineen registered 106 points (16+90) in 528 career NHL games with the Islanders, Minnesota North Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators. Dineen also spent parts of two seasons in the American Hockey League with the Springfield Indians as well as in the International Hockey League with stops in Kalamazoo, Muskegon, San Diego, Denver, Utah and Chicago.

Dineen is the son of AHL Hall of Fame coach Bill Dineen and is the brother of Shawn, Peter and Kevin Dineen, all of whom played pro hockey.

ASSISTANT COACH

Toby Petersen enters his third season with the Rochester Americans and sixth as an assistant coach in the American Hockey League after being named to the position on July 13, 2017.

The Amerks finished among the top three teams in the AHL’s North Division in 2018-19 and advanced to the postseason for the second straight year with Petersen, who was again instrumental in the development of Rochester’s forwards, most notably Victor Olofsson. A year after leading the SHL in goals, the Swedish forward took his first season in North America by storm, leading the AHL in scoring through October before finishing the season as Rochester’s leader in goals, assists and points. Olofsson, who earned CCM/AHL Player of the Month honors for October, finished tied for eighth in the AHL in goals and 14th among the league’s top point-getters in overall scoring. He would also be rewarded with a late season recall to the Buffalo Sabres, where he added four points on two goals and two assists in six games with the big club.

During the 2017-18 season, his first in Rochester, Petersen helped the team to a third-place finish in the AHL’s North Division standings in addition to helping the Amerks snap a three-year playoff drought. Petersen also helped assemble one of the top power-play units that ranked among the top five (18.3%) in the Eastern Conference.

Petersen’s biggest success story that year came with then-rookie forward C.J. Smith, who led the club’s first-year skaters in every offensive category while tying for second on the team in goals, third in points and fourth in assists. The Amerks Rookie of the Year finished the campaign ranked 10th and 11th among all AHL rookies in points and assists, respectively. Smith was also named MVP of the 2018 AHL All-Star Challenge during his first AHL All-Star Classic.

Prior to joining head coach Chris Taylor’s staff in Rochester, Petersen spent two seasons (2015-17) as an assistant coach with the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League. During his first season in Cleveland in 2015-16, Petersen guided the team to a 43-28-5 record in the regular season before helping the Monsters capture their first Calder Cup championship in franchise history. Cleveland went 15-2 during the postseason, which included series sweeps over Rockford, Ontario and Hershey as the Monsters finished with a 7-1 record on home ice in the playoffs.

A native of Minneapolis, Minn., Petersen made his pro coaching debut as an assistant coach with the Springfield Falcons in 2014-15 following a 14-year playing career as a forward. Originally a ninth-round selection of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Petersen recorded 81 points (33+48) in 398 career NHL games with Pittsburgh, Edmonton and Dallas while also adding 374 points (148+226) in 550 AHL appearances for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Edmonton, Iowa and Texas. He retired from playing after winning a Calder Cup with the Texas Stars in the 2013-14 campaign.

Before turning pro, Petersen played four years at Colorado College, where he was named to the All-WCHA Rookie Team as a freshman. He also represented the United States at several international events, including winning a silver medal at the 1997 World Junior Championship.Petersen resides in Cleveland during the offseason with his wife, Alexa, and their children, Bjorn (12), Elliott (9) and Nola (6).
