Sinden’s hockey career, however, was far from over. He spent 1963 through 1965 with the Minneapolis Bruins (the successor team to the Frontenacs), functioning as player/coach for the first season, and then had a final year with the Oklahoma City Blazers (who in turn had succeeded the Bruins). His final three seasons were spent with the Central Pacific Hockey League, which began in 1963 and ended in 1968. In his final season he also served as player/coach with the Frontenacs and suited up for one game with the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League. In 1962 he was named the league’s top defenseman (an honor shared with Jean Gauthier) and repeated the feat in 1963 (solo), in addition to being named MVP.
