Bill Peters' departure spells the dawning of a new era in hockey: Hall
The Calgary Flames hired old-school head coach Bill Peters, in part, to demand accountability from the team's star players. On Friday, the Flames announced Peters had resigned in the aftermath of allegations of racism and physical abuse. As Vicki Hall writes, his departure spells the dawning of a new era in hockey — one in which the coaches themselves are forced to be accountable.
