ROCHESTER AMERICANSClub Affiliation History

History of Affiliation | est. 1956

After three seasons with the Portland Pirates, the Buffalo Sabres renewed their affiliation with the Rochester Americans before the 2011-12 season. The 2018-19 season will mark the 37th season of affiliation between the Sabres and Amerks, one of the longest relationships between an NHL team and its AHL affiliate.

The Amerks are entering their 63rd season in the American Hockey League and the team will once again be an essential pipeline for future Sabres stars. Last season, more than a dozen Amerks saw time with the Sabres.

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 36 years of affiliation, the Amerks have compiled a record of 1,353-1,116-276-31 in 2,776 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.

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

Rochester Americans General Manager Randy Sexton named Chris Taylor Head Coach of the Amerks on June 30, 2017.

Taylor, who is the 12th former Amerk to be named head coach and 32nd overall in the 63-year history of the franchise, enters his second season at the helm of the Amerks after leading 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 four years. The Amerks finished with the third-best record in the AHL’s North Division standings in 2017-18 under Taylor, who also became the first head coach to lead the Amerks to the Calder Cup Playoffs in his first season as bench boss since former colleague Chadd Cassidy.

In addition to helping the Amerks snap a four-year playoff drought last season, 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.

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 percent 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.

During the 2012-13 season, Taylor helped guide the Amerks to a record of 43-29-3-1 (90 points), good for second place in the North Division and seventh in the Western Conference, as well as a berth in the Calder Cup Playoffs for the second straight year. Taylor also commanded a power-play unit that ranked fourth in the AHL at 20.3 percent.

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 drafted by the Islanders in the second round (27th overall) of the 1990 NHL Draft and finished his pro career with 1,297 games played at the NHL, AHL, IHL and European levels.

All-Time Head Coach Record | Head Coach

Rochester Americans assistant coach Gord Dineen enters his 17th season as an AHL coach and second with the Amerks in 2018-19.

In his first season with Rochester, Dineen commanded an immensely skilled defensive corps, featuring a balance of established veterans and a crop of young prospects, that ranked near the top of the AHL in terms of offensive production. Five of the 15 defensemen under his watch also saw time in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres, including the highly touted pairing of Brendan Guhle and Casey Nelson, who combined for 55 games with the big club in 2017-18.

Dineen’s biggest success story, however, came in veteran defenseman Zach Redmond, who, after being acquired by the Buffalo Sabres a week prior to the start of the season, became one of the most consistent point-getters throughout the

campaign. Redmond finished the regular season setting career-highs in all offensive categories while leading the team and ranking fourth in overall scoring among all AHL blueliners. He was also one of just three defensemen to lead his respective team in points and was named to the 2017-18 AHL Second All-Star Team, the first Rochester defenseman to earn the honors since Clay Wilson in 2009-10.

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 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.

Dineen resides in New York State’s Adirondack region during the off-season and has two children, Molly (14) and Finn (11).

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

During his first season in Rochester, Petersen, who worked primarily with the forwards, helped the team to a third-place finish in the AHL’s North Division standings in addition to helping the Amerks snap a four-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, however, came in 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 (17), third in points (44) and fourth in assists (27). The Amerks Rookie of the Year finished the campaign ranked 10th and 11th among all AHL rookies in points (44) and assists (27), respectively. Smith was also named MVP of the 2018 AHL All-Star Challenge during his first AHL All-Star Classic.

Toby Petersen | Assistant Coach

Petersen spent the previous two seasons (2015-2017) 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, Minnesota, 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. A ninth-round selection of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1998 NHL 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 IIHF World Junior Championship.

Petersen resides in Cleveland, Ohio during the offseason with his wife, Alexa, and their children, Bjorn (12), Elliott (9) and Nola (6).
