After his third and final season with the Sting, Letowski spent the 1997–98 season with the Springfield Falcons, Phoenix's American Hockey League affiliate. He made his NHL debut during the 1998–99 season and became a regular in the Coyotes lineup, playing two full seasons thereafter. Midway through the 2001–02 season on December 28, 2001, Letowski was traded by the Coyotes, along with Todd Warriner and Tyler Bouck, to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Drake Berehowsky and Denis Pederson.

During a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 14, 2006, Letowski was hit by the Penguins' Colby Armstrong following a pass in the Penguins' zone and was knocked unconscious and removed from the ice on a stretcher; there was no penalty assessed on the play.[3][4]
Letowski joined Barys Astana as a free agent on August 3, 2008.[5] Following the conclusion of the 2009–10 season, his second year with Astana, Letowski announced his retirement from active play.
Letwoski returned to where he began his career with the Sting, taking up an assistant coaching role on April 17, 2010, for the 2010–11 season,[6] however, on February 6, 2011, Dave MacQueen was fired as head coach and GM and Letowski took over serving as interim head coach.[7] In 18 games as the head coach, the Sting went 7–10–1, as they missed the playoffs for the second straight season. He returned to his assistant position under the Sting's next head coach, Jacques Beaulieu in 2011–12. He was promoted to head coach on June 14, 2013.
On July 9, 2015, Letowski was hired by the Windsor Spitfires as their assistant coach, after previous assistant coach Bob Jones was hired by the Oshawa Generals. After two seasons, he was promoted to head coach of the Spitfires in 2017 when Rocky Thompson left to become the head coach of the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League (AHL). In 2021, he was hired by the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League as an assistant coach.[8]
