The Calgary Flames are set to hit the ice on Friday, for their first practice at home and their first skate at Scotiabank Saddledome since the allegations towards head coach Bill Peters surfaced. Questions loom and uncertainty swirls around the franchise as the team returns home following a four-game road trip which saw them go 2-1-1. Yet, on paper — as of Thursday evening — the Flames are still coached by Peters. In case you missed it, this the statement #Flames head coach Bill Peters sent colleague @EricFrancis — an apology. We can only assume that terminating Peters’ contract is all but a formality, and associate coach Ward will be promoted to interim head coach of the team.
