Ex-Hawks coaching stepping down
Posted March 24, 2008 11:00 pm
Former Blackhawks coach Brian Sutter is stepping down as coach of the Red Deer Rebels of the Western Hockey League.
"This past week Brian and I had discussions about his personal commitments and the amount of time that needs to be put into the head coaching position for this upcoming season and for the future," team owner and president Brent Sutter said in a release. "At the conclusion of those discussions, it was mutually agreed upon that he would resign as head coach."
Brian Sutter took over as coach before the start of the season when Brent -- his brother -- accepted a coaching position with the New Jersey Devils.
