Anaheim, CA -- (Sports Network) - After guiding the Anaheim Ducks to their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history this past season, head coach Randy Carlyle was awarded with a one-year contract extension Wednesday.

Carlyle, who now remains under contract with Anaheim through the 2008-09 campaign, has compiled a 91-47-26 record as head coach with the Ducks.

"Randy has been the perfect fit for this organization with his hard-working, aggressive style," said executive vice president and general manager Brian Burke in making the announcement. "He has been a major factor in the success we've had the past two seasons."

The 51-year-old Carlyle was named head coach of Anaheim in 2005. Just two years later, the Ducks became the first team from California to capture Lord Stanley's Cup.

Anaheim wrapped up this past regular season with a 48-20-14 record for 110 points en route to the Stanley Cup. The 48 wins and 110 points were franchise records.

In 2005-06, Carlyle's Ducks lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference finals.

A former player in the NHL, Carlyle spent 18 seasons patrolling the blueline, winning Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman in 1981. He logged 1,055 games during his tenure, skating for Toronto, Pittsburgh and Winnipeg. Carlyle tallied 148 goals and 499 assists while racking up an even 1,400 penalty minutes.
