Stockton Thunder extend Thomas' contract.
The first, last and only coach ever to defeat the Reign in the playoffs was rewarded today, as the Stockton Thunder have given Matt Thomas a 2-year contract extension.
"We're thrilled to have Matt Thomas back as the head coach of the Thunder and lead our organization for at least the next two seasons," Thunder president Dan Chapman said in the release. "In talking with others around the ECHL and professional hockey, Matt is very highly regarded and considered by many as one of the best coaches in the league."
