Sauter leading candidate for Chiefs coaching job
It’s the end of an era.
Bill Peters is gone, and with less than three weeks until training camp begins for the Spokane Chiefs, it’s time to move forward – quickly.
The search for the defending Western Hockey League and Memorial Cup champion Chiefs’ next bench boss began immediately upon Friday’s announcement that Peters accepted a job with the Chicago Blackhawks’ organization as the head coach of Chicago’s American Hockey League affiliate Rockford IceHogs.
General manager Tim Speltz made it clear on Friday morning that assistant coach Hardy Sauter is the leading candidate for the position.
