Despite now-former Calgary Flames bench boss Bill Peters “resigning” amidst a wave of controversy surrounding a racial slur-filled tirade he directed at Akim Aliu several years ago, none of this is close to being over.
Further stories of abuse at the hands of Peters, this time of the physical variety, spawned from Aliu’s allegations, as former Hurricanes defenceman Michal Jordan took to Twitter and claimed that he and one of his teammates were physically assaulted on the bench during a game by their former coach.
Jordan’s allegations were corroborated and confirmed — first by TSN’s Frank Seravalli and subsequently by multiple other reports along with now head coach Rod Brind’Amour, who was on the bench as an assistant coach when the incident apparently took place.
