On the International Scene
In addition, Teeter and UofL associate head coach Allison Daley were named co-head coaches for Canada's national team in 2025 and guided Team Canada to a Silver Medal at the 2025 Pan-American Lacrosse Association World Qualifier. The duo will also serve as co-head coaches for Canada in the upcoming 2026 World Championships.

He also served as head coach of the Canadian Under-19 National Team since 2009. He guided the team to a bronze-medal showing during the 2011 championship in Hannover, Germany, before earning the country's first women's field lacrosse title at the 2015 FIL World Championship in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2017, Teeter led the Canadian National team to a pair of silver medals, both at the FIL World Cup held in England and the World Games in Poland. Also in 2022, he helped Team Canada earn a silver medal at the World Cup in Towson, Maryland. Soon after that, Team Canada took down Team USA, earning a gold medal during the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama.

Yearly Highlights at Louisville
2026: Most recently, the 2026 squad posted a 6-9 overall record and went 2-8 in Atlantic Coast Conference play with wins over Florida State and California. The season saw the Cardinals take on seven teams ranked among the top-25 in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association poll including NCAA semifinalist North Carolina.
• Following the regular season, sophomore goalie Haley Richards and sophomore defender Olivia Scroggie earned All-ACC Third Team distinction. Richards also was tabbed an IWLCA midseason All-American honorable mention. Richards and Scroggie etched their names in the school record book and made their presence known on the national stage.
• In her first year as a starter, Richards led the nation in saves per game with 11.93 and paced the ACC in saves with 179, standing fifth nationally. Her .499 save percentage stood atop all ACC goalies and ranked seventh nationally (as of May 14). She posted a school record 19 saves against Florida State.

She averaged 7.0 draw controls per game, standing fifth in the ACC and 29^th nationally. Her best performance of the season came against the top-ranked and defending national champion North Carolina; she finished that game with a career-high 13 draw controls.

2022: Louisville finished 7-11 overall. The Cardinals lost four close games by only one goal against Colorado, Virginia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

Before Louisville
Prior to coming to Louisville, he served as head coach at Canisius for 15 years (2003-2017). Upon his arrival in Buffalo, he took the reins of a team that had won just 11 games in the program's first seven seasons. Under his guidance, he changed the culture of the program and was named MAAC Coach of the Year in just his third season after leading the Griffs to an eight-win improvement in 2005.

In 2011, Canisius won a school-record 14 games and capped the successful campaign with the program's first MAAC Tournament title. The Griffs added postseason championships in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017. In the run from 2011-14, the team became the first school in MAAC history to win four straight conference titles. Canisius also claimed regular-season crowns in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 after sweeping through conference foes without a loss.

He was named the league's coach of the year again in 2015, 2016 and 2017, after becoming the first three teams in MAAC history to post a perfect 8-0 regular-season record.

He left Canisius as the winningest coach in MAAC history.

Before taking the head job at Canisius, Teeter served as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Buffalo State College in 2002, where he helped guide the program to its best-ever finish. Prior to his work at Buffalo State, he served as a student-assistant coach and team manager for the Canisius women's lacrosse team for four years.

Teeter was a four-year letter-winner for the Canisius College ice hockey team and graduated with a degree in physical education in 2002. He earned his master's degree in physical education with a concentration in sport psychology and coaching from Canisius in 2004.

Teeter and his wife, Jennifer, have one daughter, Olivia, and one son, Lucas.
