Bill Peters will not coach the Calgary Flames on Wednesday while club officials continue investigating an accusation that he repeatedly used a racial slur in addressing forward Akim Aliu while both were with the minor league Rockford (Ill.) Ice Hogs a decade ago. “Our review into the allegations from [Monday] evening continues,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said Tuesday. Advertisement“He then walked out like nothing ever happened,” Aliu told TSN. Jordan called Peters “the worst coach ever by far.” Peters coached Carolina from 2014 through the 2017-18 season. Former NHL players Sheldon Kennedy and Theo Fleury have said they were sexually abused by coach Graham James during their junior hockey careers.
