A winner of multiple championships coaching in Europe, McIlvane takes over a Gulls team that struggled this year.
| UPDATED:Matt McIlvane, a winner of multiple championships coaching in Europe, was named Tuesday as coach of the San Diego Gulls, the Ducks’ AHL affiliate.
The Gulls are coming off a historically bad season, finishing last overall in the AHL with 43 points. And there was a 20-point gap between the Gulls and their closest competitor in the Pacific Division, the Henderson Silver Knights. “Matt brings a winning pedigree to our organization in addition to a strong culture of development and performance,” said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek. “Our players in San Diego will benefit from his leadership, philosophy, and his championship experience in Europe and the international level.”
“I am humbled to be the next coach of the San Diego Gulls,” said McIlvane in a statement. “I am incredibly grateful to Pat Verbeek for the trust to take on this responsibility. The Samueli family runs a first-class organization, and it is an honor to join the hockey club. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the management, staff and players. We are ready for the challenge to develop Ducks prospects into NHL players and give the fans at Pechanga Arena San Diego an exciting team to cheer for.
