Coaching career

South Carolina Stingrays

In 2008, MacLean announced his retirement from professional hockey and was named the assistant coach of the Stingrays soon after.[3] He helped lead the Stingrays to the Kelly Cup championship in 2009.

After head coach Jared Bednar stepped down in 2009, MacLean was named the head coach of the team.[4] He spent two seasons (2009–10 and 2010–11) with the Stingrays as head coach before accepting an assistant coaching position with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat in July 2011. MacLean led the Stingrays to two Kelly Cup playoff appearances and an 78-48-18 record during his tenure as head coach.[1] While with the Stingrays, MacLean was selected as the American Conference coach for the 2010 ECHL All-Star Game and was recognized as the runner-up for the ECHL's 2009–10 John Brophy Award.[5][6]

Abbotsford Heat

MacLean replaced Troy Ward as Abbotsford's assistant coach. Ward was named the Heat's head coach in June 2011, leaving the assistant coach position vacant.[7] MacLean previously played for Ward when Ward was the head coach for the ECHL's Trenton Titans.[1]
