Nine years later, Dyck would receive a second chance in the Dub with the Vancouver Giants. He made an instant impact, leading the Giants to within one win of the 2019 WHL championship. The 51-year-old now appears back on track to a future job in the pros. So what did he learn from the nine-year WHL head coaching hiatus and how has he brought a winning culture back to the Giants?
