REPORT: Gilbert won't return as head coach

Greg Gilbert will not return as head coach of the Saint John Sea Dogs this season, reports Mikael Lalancette.
The announcement comes just a couple weeks before the start of training camp. Saint John's first pre-season game is set to take place Aug. 19.

Gilbert was named Sea Dogs head coach in June 2020 and led the team to a 15-14-3-1 record during the bizarre 2020-21 season. While the team showed glimpses of its potential, the Sea Dogs once again struggled to consistently play their best hockey.

The 59-year-old had previous head coaching experience in the NHL, AHL and OHL prior to coming to Saint John. He won three Stanley Cups as a player.
