Playing career
Ted Sator did not have a long playing career, playing for parts of two seasons (1969-70 and 1971-72) for Bowling Green State University. During the 1971-72 campaign for the NCAA team Sator played 27 games, where he tallied 5 goals and assisted on 6 others. He also racked up 45 penalty minutes during the season. Sator's playing career came to an end the following year when he played 3 games for the Long Island Ducks of the EHL.
North American professional coaching career
Sator began his NHL coaching career in 1983 with the Philadelphia Flyers. After working with Mike Keenan during the 1984-85 season, Sator was named head coach of the New York Rangers. A surprising playoff run during his first year with the Rangers led to high expectations the following season, but after a disastrous 23-game run to start the 1986-87 campaign Sator was fired. His time away from behind the bench was short lived, as he was named head coach of the Buffalo Sabres the following year. He coached Buffalo to two third-place finishes but was unable to get the team past the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and was relieved of his coaching duties in 1989.
Over the next 10 years, Sator was an assistant coach with the Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, and Vancouver Canucks (where he split time between Vancouver and the Canucks American Hockey League farm team, the Syracuse Crunch. Beginning in 1997, Sator began a successful 5-year coaching stint with the New Orleans Brass, where he was also Director of Player Personnel.
