How nice is it to jump back into managing a hockey team after some time away?

Gilman: It’s incredibly satisfying to be back and involved with an American Hockey League team, and particularly satisfying to be involved with this one, which is run like a finely-tuned machine. To have the ability to come in to the Toronto Marlies after they won the Calder Cup is a tremendous thing for someone in my position.
