The Calgary Flames reportedly fired head coach Bill Peters on Friday, according to multiple media reports, after revelations this week that he used racial slurs a decade ago while coaching in the American Hockey League. The Flames had distanced themselves from Peters after learning of the allegations. In an interview with TSN published Tuesday, Aliu confirmed he was speaking about Peters. Peters, 54, was the head coach of the Hurricanes (2014-18) before moving on to the Flames. Overall, Peters’ record as an NHL head coach is 198-175-64.
