It's the right move. What a nightmare of a season it's been

Do you think this is grounds to void his contract or will he still be owed his money?

I know the org doesn’t budget a ton of money to that position so it could be concerning

God no. Hitchcock in Edmonton was bad enough, I don’t need to see that here.

I wonder if they just go with Conroy.

Mike Babcock incoming?

Not a chance lol

Treliving probably wants to take control of the story first and get his ducks in a row for a proper press conference rather than confirming media rumours via text

 

[super6646]

Peters hasn’t officially been relieved yet. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time though

 

[crackdown44]

Off the board but would anyone be down to give Rikard Grönborg consideration as a replacement come summer?

 

[Janks]

Will be interested to see if they give Ward the interim head coach label, and keep Huska as the only assistant - or if they bring in someone to help shore up the AC position.

 

[Remember2004]

If this is true it aligns perfectly with the season we are having lol

 

[Once]

Similar to Toronto, this Calgary team is waaaaaay too talented to be where they are.

I hope Treliving brings in a fresh mind. Best of luck!

Canucks fan coming in peace. I decided to post here as I've found in my short time as a Member that the main Board gets pretty volatile while Team Boards are more even keel.

Although I've mentioned this in the T. J. Brodie Thread, I figure the magnitude of this level of change deserved the sentiment repeated. As a fan of all the Canadian franchises, I hope you guys can get a mid season boost to change your fortunes and make the playoffs. Hockey always benefits when Canadian teams succeed. Best of luck in the search for your next Coach.

Cheers

I'm not a lawyer, but I can't imagine this being any kind of grounds to void the contract. None of this happened while he was employed by the Flames and, while definitely shit behaviour, it's probably not a criminal offence to say the n-word.

Been a wild 12 hours, damn. Wonder if this is the start of a domino effect, there must be a LOT of this kind of stuff out there.

That’s my initial feeling as well. Just wishful thinking on my behalf lol

I imagine there will be additional fallout for many coaches at different levels

There's clauses on ethical behavior and representing the Calgary Flames. We'll likely never know fully though.

And certainly every contractual obligation from "public relations" onward to "ethical conduct" will be reviewed.

I imagine that Bill Peters will need to be paid a fair termination package to make this go away.

The articled students are probably going HAM right now.

Going to lock this one until we have a status update.
