Augsburger Panther Fire Head Coach Ted Dent After Losing Streak

Larry Mitchell steps in as interim coach following ten consecutive losses in the DEL season.

  • The Augsburger Panther parted ways with head coach Ted Dent after a ten-game losing streak, the worst in the club's DEL history without a single point earned.
  • Ted Dent, who joined the team in May, had initially achieved a promising start with 17 points in the first ten games before the team’s performance drastically declined.
  • Larry Mitchell, the team’s current sporting director and a former head coach of the Panther, will temporarily take over coaching duties while the club searches for a new head coach.
  • Mitchell's first game back as coach will be against Straubing Tigers on Friday, with the match already sold out at the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion.
  • The Panther leadership emphasized the need for fresh momentum to salvage the season, with 32 games remaining and the team currently at the bottom of the DEL standings.
