Randolph Robert Carlyle (born April 19, 1956) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He is currently the head coach of the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks and formerly the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is of Finnish descent, and was raised in Azilda, just northwest of Sudbury, Ontario. He won the Stanley Cup in 2007 with the Ducks during his first stint with the team. As a player, Carlyle dressed for over 1000 games between the Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins and Winnipeg Jets, winning the Norris Trophy in 1981 and serving as a captain of both Pittsburgh and Winnipeg.
Carlyle appeared in 12 games with the Sudbury Wolves in the 1973-74 OHA season, earning eight assists. He played in four playoff games with Sudbury, going pointless, as the Wolves were swept by the Kitchener Rangers in the first round.
Carlyle became a regular on the Wolves blue line in 1974-75, as he scored 17 goals and 64 points in 67 games to finish tied with Dave Farrish in points among defensemen on the Wolves. In the post-season, Carlyle had three goals and nine points in 15 games, as Sudbury lost to the Toronto Marlboros in the second round of the playoffs.
