Ex-Hurricane Michal Jordán Accuses Bill Peters of Physical Abuse

Former Hurricanes defenseman Michal Jordán accused Flames coach Bill Peters of physical abuse on Tuesday.

In a series of tweets, Jordán said Peters kicked him and punched an unnamed player in the head during a game.

"After years making it to the NHL had experience with the worst coach ever by far [sic]. Kicking me and punching [another] player to the head during the game...then pretending like nothing happened," Jordán wrote.

After being drafted by the Hurricanes in 2008, Jordán played with the NHL team for three seasons from 2012-16. Peters, who led Carolina from 2014-18, was his coach for his final two seasons.
