Bill Peters to return as coach of WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes after racist remarks controversy

Bill Peters resigned as Calgary Flames coach in 2019 after accusations of using racial slurs towards a player on a previous team surfaced.
Peters apologized to the player last week, several years after the incident occurred.
Peters recently coached in Russia's KHL and held an executive role with a junior hockey league team in Alberta.
The WHL's Lethbridge Hurricanes have now hired Peters as their new head coach, marking his return to coaching junior hockey.
The hiring comes despite Peters' past racist remarks, which he only apologized for recently when seeking a new coaching job.
