ESPN has reported that the Carolina Hurricanes have fired head coach Peter Laviolette. Laviolette led the Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup Championship only two years ago. ESPN has also reported that the Hurricanes have already hired a replacement head coach. Paul Maurice is rumored to be the next head coach.

"In a curious turn of events, Laviolette was the one who replaced Maurice as coach in 2003, when Maurice was dismissed 30 games into the season. "

Just one more coach to get the pink slip after a disappointing start to the NHL season.
