The Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League have parted ways with interim head coach Warren Rychel.
“It’s the first coach we’ve kind of had to part ways with,” Colts owner and president Howie Campbell said in a statement.
“Everybody else that has been here has kind of left on their own, so it’s never easy. … We were thankful he was able to join us and unfortunately it just didn’t work out.”
The team’s assistant coach, Todd Miller, will become the Colts’ new interim head coach.
Rychel had stepped in at the beginning of the season after longtime head coach and former NHL superstar Dale Hawerchuk was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had to take a leave of absence.
