There usually isn't much to tell about a rental player's stay with a team that only lasted a couple months. Cole is no exception.
Especially when the rental is just for depth.
In his career, Cole never put up what would even be called good numbers, but was considered to be a top 9 forward. The
reason he didn't have good numbers: he played on a lot of bad teams.
But what happens when you don't produce on a bad team, like the Islanders and the Blackhawks? To the minors you go, and
that's where Cole would finish his career, with the last team he played for being the Grand Rapids Griffins.
He would later join their coaching staff, first as an assistant, then after a stint with the UHL's Muskegon Fury, he became their
head in 2002.
After the 04-05 season, he started coaching in the college ranks, first as an assistant at Bowling Green, then as the head man at
the University of Alabama-Huntsville in 2007. He left there in 2010 to take a coaching position for the USA U-18
Developmental Team Program.
