Prior to coming to the Wolf Pack, McCambridge had spent the previous five seasons as head coach of the Winnipeg Jets’ AHL affiliate. The Thompson, Manitoba native was head man of the St. John’s IceCaps for the first four years of that franchise’s existence, 2011-12 through 2014-15, and then spent the 2015-16 campaign as bench boss of the Manitoba Moose. During those five head-coaching years, McCambridge amassed a record of 179-158-23-20, for a winning percentage of .528. McCambridge guided the 2013-14 IceCaps all the way to the Calder Cup Finals, where they lost a hard-fought five-game series to the Texas Stars, with each of the last three games going to overtime. In his first season as an AHL head coach, 2011-12, McCambridge won an Atlantic Division regular-season title with the IceCaps, going 43-25- 5-3, and advanced as far as the Eastern Conference Finals. That year he also earned the honor of serving as head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star squad at the 2012 AHL All-Star Classic. McCambridge also spent two seasons (2009-10 and 2010-11) as an assistant coach for the Moose, prior to the franchise moving to St. John’s, and in the first of those two years, Manitoba’s head coach was current New York Rangers associate coach Scott Arniel. The 44-year-old McCambridge began his coaching career in the ECHL, with the Alaska Aces. He was the Aces’ head coach for two seasons, 2007-08 and 2008-09, leading the team to the Kelly Cup Finals in ’08-’09 and to the third round of the postseason in his first year. His total ECHL head-coaching record was 86-50-5-3 (.625), and he also worked with the Aces for three seasons (2003-04 through 2005-06) as a player/assistant coach and in 2006-07 as an assistant coach. McCambridge played 11 seasons as a pro defenseman, from 1995-96 through 2005-06. That tenure included 378 career AHL games in seven seasons with the Saint John Flames, Providence Bruins, Houston Aeros and Cleveland Barons, during which the 1994 Calgary Flames eighth-round pick (201st overall) totaled nine goals and 21 assists for 30 points, along with 1,057 penalty minutes.
