If there's one thing Allman despises, it's having an outspoken, verbose leader. That's why he gets along well with new Coach Mark Mazzoleni. To hear each guy tell it, the two are born of the same mind.
"Coach is the verbal motivator, he's good at firing up guys," Allman said. "With a new coach, for me it just brings more responsibilities, such as answering his questions about what our team feels. Communication has been great."
Allman also praises Mazzoleni's philosophy of hockey. When Mazzoleni first arrived and met Allman, he asked Allman to define his own role.
"You're uncertain at change," Allman said. "But coach's idea of a strict defensive game and a creative offense really is great with me."
Mazzoleni concurs.
"Trevor's done a great job to date because he's trying," he said. "For us to be successful, we have to really buy into what we are trying to implement. Trevor understands that."
While it may seem that Allman has no backbone and shies away from verbal confrontation, think again.
