Brett Pilkington

Head Coach & General Manager

Brett was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, and is now proud to call Warman home with his wife Lindsey and their two kids — Allie and Brodie.

Hockey has been a big part of Brett’s life for as long as he can remember. He grew up playing with the Calgary Royals, went on to play Junior A with the Olds Grizzlies, then played NCAA Division I hockey at Bowling Green State University — where he also earned his degree in Communications. After college, he chased the dream and played four years of pro hockey across the ECHL, UHL, and AHL.

These days, Brett loves being on the other side of the bench, helping develop young athletes and sharing his passion for the game. Outside the rink, you’ll usually find him spending time with his family, watching his kids play sports, or enjoying the outdoors — especially golfing or out on the lake.

Nick Doyle
Assistant Coach

Nick Doyle joins the Warman Wolverines as Assistant Coach, bringing a mix of grit, skill, and a true player-first mindset to the team’s bench.

Nick played four seasons in the MJHL with the Portage Terriers and Waywayseecappo Wolverines, suiting up for 196 games and racking up 106 points and nearly 300 penalty minutes. He knows what it takes to win — and has the MJHL Championship ring from his time in Portage to prove it.

After juniors, he continued his career at the college level, playing for both Minot State and the University of Las Vegas. In just 56 games, he tallied 46 points and helped both programs reach the ACHA National Final — twice.

Nick’s passion for hockey led him into coaching, where he spent time in Las Vegas working with youth teams from 10U to 16U. He’s all about development, leadership, and building a strong team culture.

Now in Warman, Nick is fired up to help shape the Wolverines in their first SJHL season and be a positive role model for the next generation of players.
