The Nailers will not renew the contract of head coach Mike Bavis, the team announced on Monday.
“We would like to thank Mike for the work he did for our organization, and we wish him the best as he moves forward," said Nailers Governor Don Rigby. "We remain committed to putting a winning team on the ice, and believe it is in the best interest of the team to move in a different direction for the 2020-21 season."
Bavis was hired as head coach in August 2018 after his predecessor, Mark Dennehy, left as head coach only two months after being hired, taking a head coaching job with the Binghamton Devils in the AHL.
