After recent allegations of racist remarks directed at a former player, the Calgary Flames have started an investigation regarding current head coach Bill Peters.
“Bill has not been relieved of his duties,” Flames GM Treliving told reporters in Buffalo on Tuesday despite previous reports that the team had let go of the bench boss.
Treliving has also been in touch with both the coach and Akim Aliu — the former player that came out with the report of Peters’ racist statement. The general manager has also been in discussion with the league as the investigation begins.
