The Illinois native, hired from Europe, will be tasked with turning around a San Diego Gulls team that struggled to an AHL-worst 43 points last season
The Brigantine restaurant’s Bayview Ballroom served as an ideal site for Matt McIlvane’s official introduction as head coach of the San Diego Gulls.
Following the season, veteran Roy Sommers, the winningest coach in AHL history, retired after his lone season guiding the Gulls. Former Gulls coach Dallas Eakins was relieved of his duties after four seasons leading the Ducks. McIlvane grew up in Illinois, attended Ohio State, serving as captain his senior season, and played several seasons of professional hockey with stops in the AHL, IHL, ECHL and in Germany before injuries pushed him into coaching.
