ANAHEIM, Calif. (CP) - The Anaheim Mighty Ducks scheduled a news conference Monday to announce the NHL club's new head coach.

A television station reported that it would be former NHL player and Manitoba Moose coach Randy Carlyle. The announcement was scheduled to be made at 5 p.m. EDT.
Under new general manager Brian Burke, Anaheim had offered former coach Mike Babcock a one-year deal, which he turned down to become the new head coach of the Detroit Red Wings.

The Mighty Ducks missed the playoffs in 2003-04 with a record of 29-35-10-8 after reaching the Stanley Cup final and losing to New Jersey the previous year.
