He served as an assistant and later the head coach of the Charlotte Checkers of the Eastern Hockey League.

In 1981, Creighton was then hired to coach the Indianapolis Checkers, the top Central Hockey League affiliate of the New York Islanders,[2] where he led the team to Adams Cup championships in 1982 and 1983 and a spot in the CHL Finals in 1984.

He became the Checkers' general manager when the team moved to the International Hockey League in 1984–85, and served as interim coach in the playoffs.

In 1985, he again became the head coach of the Islanders' top affiliate, the AHL's Springfield Indians, full-time in 1985–86, and as a midseason replacement the following two years.
