Bourgeois led the Moncton Hawks to the Calder Cup finals, as a coach during the 1993–94 AHL season. He also coached the Universite de Moncton hockey team for several years, and guided the team to the Atlantic university championship a few years ago. He also played two years of professional hockey in Europe.

Bourgeois operates a summer hockey school in Moncton, and he is president of Atlantic Hockey Group, which works with over 10,000 youth and adult hockey players each year.
