That Was Quick: Flames Hire new Head Coach Bill Peters to Three-Year Deal

Bill who?

Two weeks ago few even knew the name. Now in a whirlwind of activity, he’s the new head coach. For those of you who don’t know, Bill Peters was behind the bench in Carolina for 4 years. Before that, an assistant in Detroit behind Mike Babcock. Oh ya, in true Calgary Flames fashion, a good ol Albertan boy too (grew up in Three Hills).

OK, so why did things move so fast to get a coach on a multi-year deal who’s had no success in the NHL?

Beats me.

But you know that it must have been in the works for some time, month perhaps.
