Dallas Stars fire coach Pete DeBoer despite 3 straight Western Conference Finals
The Dallas Stars have fired Pete DeBoer after three seasons with the team, each ending in a defeat in the Western Conference Finals, the last two of which came against the Edmonton Oilers.
DeBoer led the team to a 149-68-29 record in his three regular seasons at the helm and a 29-27 record in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
However, the Canadian native failed to get the stars back to their first Stanley Cup Final since the team’s 2019 loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Stars General Manager Jim Nill explained why the team moved on from DeBoer.
“After careful consideration, we believe that a new voice is needed in our locker room to push us closer to our goal of winning the Stanley Cup,” said Nill, “We’d like to thank Pete for everything that he has helped our organization achieve over the past three seasons and wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”
