The Calgary Flames are looking into accusations from former player Akim Aliu that coach Bill Peters used racial slurs toward him "several times."
Aliu played for Peters in 2009-10 with the Rockford Ice Hogs, the AHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Aliu posted a tweet on Monday night that read: "Not very surprising the things we're hearing about Babcock. Apple doesn't fall far from the Tree, same sort of deal with his protege in YYC. Dropped the N bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn't like my choice of music.
