Moncton Wildcats Coach Gardiner MacDougall Seeks yet Another Trophy at Memorial Cup

Gardiner MacDougall, the 65-year-old coach from Bedeque, P.E.I., leads the Moncton Wildcats at the 2025 Memorial Cup in Rimouski, Que., seeking another championship win.
After 24 successful seasons with the University of New Brunswick where he set records and won nine Canadian titles, MacDougall took the Moncton job last spring to join his son Taylor as general manager.
In their first season under MacDougall, the Wildcats achieved a 53-9-2 regular-season record, a 16-3 playoff run, and won their first league title since 2010, driven by NHL prospect Caleb Desnoyers and new defenceman Dyllan Gill.
MacDougall describes his team’s style as "fast and faster," emphasizing speed in puck control and recovery, and his son praises his contagious enthusiasm and ability to inspire players.
MacDougall’s winning career, including guiding UNB to a perfect 43-0 national title season and helping Canada’s under-18 team to gold, fuels speculation he could coach Canada at world juniors or attract NHL interest.
