Former Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery, who was fired Dec. 10 for "unprofessional conduct," announced Friday he's entering inpatient treatment for alcoholism.
Montgomery released a statement to Matthew DeFranks of the Dallas Morning News about the decision and said he agreed with the organization's decision to dismiss him:
"Losing my job as head coach of the Dallas Stars last month was a wake-up call. It was also the appropriate call. I let the team's front office, staff and players down. More importantly, I let my wife and my family down.
