The Flames have fired head coach Bill Peters after a former player accused Peters of directing racial slurs at him, TSN's Frank Seravalli reports.
Calgary has not addressed the report but said general manager Brad Treliving will host a press conference on Friday.
In a series of tweets Monday night, Akim Aliu, a Nigerian-born former NHL winger, accused Peters of calling him the n-word when Peters was his coach with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.
Aliu expanded on the allegations in an interview on Tuesday with TSN.
