On top of all this experience, McTavish has worked directly with the Ottawa Senators Development Camp, with the University of Ottawa and is also the lead goaltending skills coach for Peak Centre Academy in Ottawa. In total, McTavish has been consulting with teams and associations in the Ottawa area for 14 years.

67's training camp gets underway on August 27, which will be McTavish's first opportunity to work with the team's goaltenders. The Barber Poles first pre-season contest is set for August 31 when the team travels to Sudbury to face the Wolves. The 67's open their 2018-2019 home schedule Friday, September 21 when they host the Mississauga Steelheads at the Arena at TD Place.
