Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer has been fired after three seasons with the team, getting to the Western Conference final each time but never advancing past that for a shot at the Stanley Cup.

DeBoer led the Stars to three consecutive appearance in the Western Conference Final, but all three ended in defeat.

For the second time this century, the Dallas Stars players got a coach fired. Pete DeBoer just got Hitchcocked. On Friday morning, the Stars announced they dismissed head coach Pete DeBoer, who in his three-year tenure led the team to the Western Conference Finals each season.
