Pat Coyle

Pat Coyle enters his second season as the Mammoth’s assistant general manager. This season also represents Coyle’s fourth full season as head coach and his eighth season coaching the Mammoth overall after coaching the team to a 2021-22 NLL Championship last season. After serving as the organization’s general manager since the 2018 season, Coyle transitioned his focus to coaching in July of 2020 as Brad Self was named general manager. After leading the team to a 7-6 record during the shortened 2019-20 NLL season, Coyle saw a majority of his squad return for a triumphant run in 2021-22. Despite finishing the regular season 10-8 and in third place of the West Conference, Coyle lead his group to a 5-2 record in the postseason to help capture the organization’s second NLL Championship and first since 2006. Eliminating the Calgary Roughnecks in the Quarterfinals, besting the San Diego Seals in a best-of-three West Conference Finals before upsetting the league’s favorite to earn the honors in the Buffalo Bandits in a Game 3 showdown at KeyBank Center, Coyle got the best out his players while continuing to build a championship culture. A Mammoth player from 2005-2008, Coyle was named to the Mammoth’s All-Decade Team in 2012. Coyle was the 2002 NLL Defensive Player of the Year in the inaugural season of the award. A five-time champion in his 12-year playing career, Coyle hoisted the Champion’s Cup four times with the Toronto Rock (1999, 2000, 2002-03) and once with the Mammoth (2006). Coyle was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2017. In 2014, Coyle became the first defenseman in league history to be inducted into the NLL Hall of Fame.
