He was then promoted to their head coach position for two seasons. Following the 2017-2018 season, he joined the Charlotte Checkers in 2018, and spent time as both an assistant coach and head coach until 2021 when he took the head coaching job with the Chicago Wolves. In his first season in Chicago he led the Wolves to an AHL best 50 wins, and won the 2022 Calder Cup. After nearly two years there, he took his first NHL job, an assistant position with the Sharks.
