He also served as head coach in juniors with New Mexico (NAHL) and Tri-City (USHL), winning a Clark Cup championship with the latter.
Muckalt played at Michigan from 1994 to 1998, winning two NCAA titles while recording 105 goals and 121 assists for 226 points before embarking on a five-year NHL career with Vancouver, the New York Islanders, Ottawa and Minnesota, in which he tallied 40-57—97 points in 256 regular-season outings.
