After his professional hockey career, Imlach then enrolled at University of Western Ontario's (UWO) Ivey Business School and played with UWO's OQAA team for two seasons.[1][4] After graduating with an HBA in 1970,[5] he rejected a contract from the Maple Leafs because he thought the contract was not generous enough and his signing rights were traded to the Buffalo Sabres in 1970, although he never played a game with the Sabres.[1] He continued his college hockey career with the University of Toronto and York University.[4] He graduated from York with a Masters in business administration.[3]

Imlach went on to work for Molson Breweries as a director of advertising,[3] and ran the Vancouver Canadians as general manager (GM) from 1989 to 1997.[4][6] As GM, he won the Pacific Coast League Executive of the Year award in 1993.[7] He died in March 2017.[5][8]
