The Tisdale, Saskatchewan native captured the 1970 Calder Cup with the AHL's Buffalo Bisons, and the 1976 Adams Cup with the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey Hockey League.
22 years after his final professional hockey game, McIntyre returned to Tulsa as an assistant coach for the 1998-99 season. He would take over as head coach for the final 51 games of that season.
