A coach involved with the hockey in the Royal York area, Gibb coached young athletes right from the youngest age groups to midget.

In 1976, he went on to serve as both coach and general manager of the Royal York Royals Provincial Junior A hockey team.

Throughout his coaching career, he’s developed a number of young hockey talents – including Colin Patterson (Stanley Cup winner with the Calgary Flames in 1989), Bruce Driver (New Jersey Devil Stanley Cup winner in 1995) and Adam Oates (in the record books for being the NHL player who has accumulated the most career playoffs points without winning the Stanley Cup).
