The Western Hockey League's (WHL) Lethbridge Hurricanes have hired Bill Peters as the team's new head coach, more than three years after he resigned from the Calgary Flames in disgrace.
It’s a full circle moment for Peters, whose first head coaching job came with the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns.
"His previous time in the WHL, which included a Memorial Cup championship in 2008, along with his experience coaching in Lethbridge with the Pronghorns, put him at the top of our candidate list." "Peters has coached and represented Canada at various levels, including the U17 and U18, capturing a gold medal at the 2009 Hlinka Gretzky Cup tournament," officials said.
"I have worked closely with Shades of Humanity to understand and correct my regrettable actions," Peters said in a statement. "I have learned a lot through this educational journey and feel ready to return to coaching. "We focused on Bill's training and program, and we felt that was really important and that the apology should follow that and that was part of the discussion we had with both the agency and Bill," he said.The former NHL player said that Peters only tried to reach out for an apology last week through a third party.
