The Saint John Sea Dogs have hired former NHL player and long-time coach Greg Gilbert to be the QMJHL team's new head coach. Gilbert takes over from interim head coach Jeff Cowan, who took over the role midway through last season. He was elevated to head coach of the Flames near the end of the 2000-2001 season, but the team missed the playoffs for two straight seasons under his leadership, and he was fired. His best season as a coach was 2007-2008, when he led the Toronto Marlies of the AHL to a 109-point season. Gilbert is the eighth head coach in the team's history.
