No. 5: Fred Creighton won the most games in Atlanta Flames history.
There isn’t much competition for the “best coach in Atlanta Flames history.” Only three men coached them, Al MacNeal and Bernie Geoffrion were the others.
However, Creighton still amassed 156 wins and took his team to the playoffs every single year. They lost in the preliminary round each time, but he started the streak of playoff appearances for the Flames which lasted from 1975-76 to 1990-91.
Creighton also held the team record for most wins in a season with 41 until the mid 80s.
According to the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame, after his hockey career he operated Little Ceasers pizza in Sacramento.
