Career
He would later serve as head coach of the San Jose Sharks during the 1995-1996 National Hockey League season. Wiley signed as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1972 following a fine collegiate career at Lake Superior State University, becoming the first Lakers alum to play in the National Hockey League. He would spend the majority of the next two seasons with the Hershey Bears, Pittsburgh"s AHL affiliate, although he did appear in 26 games for the Penguins over that stretch, recording 4 assists. Wiley was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1974 intra-league draft, but continued to find himself toiling in minor pro.
He would earn a 2-game callup in 1975-1976, and would have his longest National Hockey League stint in 1976-1977, when he recorded 4 goals and 10 points in 34 games for the Canucks.
He would retire in 1980 without seeing any further National Hockey League action. Wiley appeared in 62 National Hockey League games, recording 4 goals and 10 assists for 14 points along with 8 penalty minutes.

Other leagues
Following his retirement, Wiley would move into coaching. He was the long-time coach of the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL before breaking into the pro ranks in 1993 as head coach of the Kansas City Blades, the top affiliate of the San Jose Sharks.
When the Sharks fired head coach Kevin Constantine after a dismal 3–18–4 start, Wiley was promoted to the head coaching position with the National Hockey League club
While his 17–37–3 record was somewhat of an improvement over their start, it was not enough for Wiley to keep his job. Following the season, he was reassigned back to the Sharks" top farm team, now the Kentucky Thoroughblades, where he served until 1998. Since leaving the Sharks organization, Wiley has made several stops in the ECHL and CHL. He formerly serves as head coach of the Amarillo Gorillas of the CHL. Team Season West L OT/T
