HURRICANES FIRE ROBSON
Lethbridge, AB – At an afternoon news conference ahead of their game against Kelowna Wednesday, the Lethbridge Hurricanes announced Brad Robson is no longer with the Hurricanes Hockey club effectively immediately.
“Going forward and seeing where we were at as an organization felt a change was necessary that was in the best interest of our players, shareholders and fans moving forward” stated Lethbridge Hurricanes Board President, Doug Paisley.
At the same time, the Hurricanes announced Assistant General Manager,Peter Anholt, who was hired in June, will take the reins as both General Manager and Head Coach of the hockey club.
Anholt started his coaching career as an assistant with the Prince Albert Raiders before taking his turn as a head coach. For more than a decade Anholt was a head coach in the Western Hockey League with the Raiders, Red Deer Rebels, Kelowna Rockets and Seattle Thunderbirds. Prior to joining the Hurricanes Anholt had been a scouting with the Thunderbirds.
As a Tiger fan living in the Hat all I can say is this club needs to be sold. This franchise is a disgrace to the league. I feel sorry for the fans in Lethbridge.
about 9 months too late!!!
maybe there is a god watching over LETH
I don't know Peter Anholt at all and can't say i am too familiar with his coaching. I see people on twitter saying it is a great hire. From the outside i just see another recycled coach. Did he win anywhere else?
