Bill Peters is no longer the coach of the Calgary Flames.
The team’s general manager, Brad Treliving, told a press conference today he had accepted a letter of resignation from Peters.
“Effectively immediately, Bill Peters is no longer a member of the Calgary Flames,” Treliving said.

Treliving called the allegations “repulsive.”
Peters was in the second year of a three-year-contract reported to be worth US$6 million.
Treliving did not say whether the Flames were still required to honour any part of Peter’s contract.
Assistant coach Geoff Ward was named the new head coach, on an interim basis.
