Sudbury Wolves fire head coach
Paul Fixter has been fired as head coach of the Sudbury Wolves, HockeyNewsNorth.com has confirmed.
Associate coach David Matsos takes over as interim head coach of the Wolves, who have the Ontario Hockey League’s worst record, a 7-25-2 mark.
Fixter was in his second season as the Wolves bench boss.
Wolves general manager Blaine Smith, in announcing the dismissal of Fixter, said “it was time for a change.
“After showing some improvement in early December our compete level of late has not been good,” added Smith.
The 41-year old Matsos — a former assistant coach with the Windsor Spitfires who played four OHL seasons with the Soo Greyhounds — will be assisted by holdover Bryan Verreault behind the Sudbury bench.
By by Fixie you are way to arrogont to have been a success in Sudz.
Fixter was a bad hire rite from the start. Not a Head Coach!!!
He fu–ed up the Playoffs for us last year and he rubbs alot of players and fans the wrong way.
Happy for ex-Hound Dave Matzos a class act all the way.
This was a long time coming this coaching change . As Fixter lost this team before last years playoffs and then the playoffs were a major disaster as all Wolves fans know. In North Bay we have a good coach with Stan Butler and he is the diffrence between the succes that we have here and the loosing in Sudbury.
