In probably one of the worst kept secrets in recent memory, the Calgary Flames made the hiring of Bill Peters as head coach official today. Peters will the 17th head coach in franchise history.
After waiting nearly a month and a half the last time around, Brad Treliving wasted no time in bringing in his next coach, only six days after Glen Gulutzan was fired.
Peters was the head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes for four seasons, accumulating a 137-138-53 record and no playoff appearances. Albeit the Hurricanes didn’t exactly put him in the best position to succeed.
