Hasselberg let go by Ice Flyers
Kevin Hasselberg was relieved of his coaching duties by the Pensacola Ice Flyers of the Southern Professional Hockey League on Monday, after compiling a 15-15-6 record in his first 36 games with the club.
“Kevin came in here, worked tirelessly and put everything into this team, and I truly appreciate that,” said Ice Flyers owner Greg Harris in a press release on the team’s website. “Unfortunately, the results haven’t been what we want and need them to be. So with great respect to him and everyone a part of the organization, I had to make a change of leadership behind the bench.”
The former Battlefords North Stars head coach and general manager was hired by the Florida team this past summer after guiding the North Stars to a 43-11-2-2 record and first place finish in 2015-16, his fifth year behind the bench.
Hasselberg’s season with the Ice Flyers started with a 1-3-3 record out of the gate, but the team had gone 6-3-1 in their last 10 games before he was let go. That included a three-game sweep over the weekend.
