Frank Mathers
With only a 23 game NHL career as a player with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Frank Mathers may not have had a stellar career in the National Hockey League, but was a “Crash Davis” type of player in the AHL. Mathers was a five time All Star there and retired as the all-time leading AHL scorer for Defencemen. In total, Mathers won a total of eight Calder Cups in the AHL; two as a player (Pittsburgh), two as a player/coach (Hershey), one as a coach (Hershey) and three as a general manager (again with Hershey).

It was not that Frank Mathers did not have the skill to administer at the NHL level, as he did and was often courted by the big dance. However, Mathers was quite content in the American Hockey League, and that circuit was substantially better because of it.
