Andrew McBride

Andrew McBride returns for his fourth season with the Mammoth, having joined the coaching staff in July 2018. Working alongside former defenseman and head coach Pat Coyle in establishing one of the most consistent and feared defensive units in the NLL, McBride continues to lean on his veteran squad and greatly impacted the team’s 2021-22 NLL Championship run. In the 2019 West Division Final, with the Mammoth’s defense holding the Roughnecks to two goals in the first half, Colorado combined with Calgary for the lowest scoring playoff game since 2009. McBride concluded his 13-year NLL career in 2015. The former Roughnecks defenseman spent his entire career in Calgary, leading the Riggers as captain for five seasons. Twice an NLL champion (2004, 2009) and NLL All-Star (2008, 2011), McBride amassed 87 career points (19 goals, 68 assists) and 711 career loose balls in 198 regular season games; he also holds the franchise record for regular season games played. On the international level, McBride competed for the Irish National Team in the 2015 FIL World Lacrosse Championships, making it to the quarterfinals. A Ladner, British Columbia native, McBride won the 2004 Presidents Cup with the Ladner Pioneers.
