Mair had been serving as Buffalo's director of player development since the 2021-22 season. Prior to that, he 46-year-old Canadian native was a development coach for the Sabres from 2015-20. He was also an assistant coach for the American League’s Rochester Americans in 2020-21.

In his playing days, Mair spent the majority of his NHL time with the Sabres. He also spent time with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings and New Jersey Devils.
