Is Brett Sutter a rising star in the coaching ranks? The Calgary Flames believe so
Article content Kerins, who was the Wranglers' leading scorer in 2024-25, has also talked about the value of having 'one of probably the biggest AHL legends' to lean on through the early stages of his pro career. Article content 'It's all about communication and trust,' Brett said, detailing his approach. 'You know, hockey players are simple guys. They want to hear the truth. They want to know exactly where they stand. They want to know the things they're doing well, the things they need to improve on. And I think just having that no-games, open-and-honest relationship, it makes your team better, but it also makes the individuals better. Article content 'These are really single-track-mind guys. When they decide they want to make it to the NHL, they're all-in on that goal. Those are the kinds of kids that you want to work really hard for, and that's part of the reason this job is so great. It is rewarding when you see their dreams do come true.' Article content Article content Article content Who could possibly be more proud than the coach when one of those kids — at any age — achieves a career goal? Article content Well, the dad would be one. Article content 'Brett is a really good fit for 'em, I think,' Darryl said. 'I think he's ready for it. He'll do a really good job.' Article content While Brett has now filled that assistant-coaching vacancy, plucking another former AHL captain in David Liffiton from the Calgary Hitmen, he knows that a former Jack Adams Trophy winner and two-time Stanley Cup champion is always just a phone call away. Article content 'When you grow up in the locker room, you kind of understand how things work, how people work, things you like, things you don't like,' Brett said. 'For me, it's just nice having that support system. I know my dad is always there if I have any questions. He doesn't interfere too much. He's more stay-in-the-background unless I ask him something. Article content 'The more time you spend in the locker room, you see things and you decide, 'Yeah, that's how I want my locker room to be,' or, 'That's not how I want my locker room to be.' After 19 years in the American League, I've seen a lot of different locker rooms and have a pretty clear picture in my mind of how I'd like ours to look. I look forward to starting to build that now.'

Miranda Lambert Asks Fans To 'Keep Sending Prayers' After Floods Devastate Her Home State of Texas: 'I Can't Even Come Up With Any Words' originally appeared on Parade. Miranda Lambert is using her platform to speak out about the floods that have devastated her home state of Texas. On Saturday, July 5, the country superstar, 41, turned to social media to share her heartbreak over the severe flooding that struck the Lone Star State over the Fourth of July holiday. In a video posted on her Instagram page, a broken-hearted Lambert said, 'Hey y'all. I just want to jump on here and say how devastated we are to hear about the floods in South and Central Texas. I can't even come up with any words for the loss that everybody's suffering." The 'Wranglers' singer and avid pet lover then revealed that she has jumped up to help in the aftermath of the storm through her MuttNation Foundation — a non-profit that she founded with her mother, Bev Lambert, in 2009. 'MuttNation Foundation is working really closely with Kerrville Pets Alive, as we speak to try to get more info and figure out where the needs are to support the pet community and pet owners in this disaster,' Lambert explained of her foundation, which is partnering with the Central Texas-based non-profit organization to help bring aid to Texans and their beloved pets who have been displaced during the storms. 'We will have more info as it goes, but I'll post everything that I know to post right now,' she continued in her message. 'So y'all join with us and try to help out as much as you can, and keep sending prayers, and I'll keep you posted.' According to ABC News, heavy rainfall occurred overnight and into the morning hours of July 4th, overtaking parts of Central Texas and leading to 'catastrophic flooding' in Kerr County and near the Guadalupe River. As of 7 pm ET on July 5, the death toll had risen to 43 people, including 15 children.
