Tuesday’s UKHL interview with Sylvain Cloutier prompted quite a response from across the Atlantic. His comment that other coaches suggested he was “Back Doored” out of his job with the Ice Rays was picked up by Greg Rajan, who prompted the current coach for a response.
Sylvain himself was also given a right to reply.

An interesting take on the interview. Cloutier was obviously unhappy at his exit and, as he points out, he does not claim directly that he was ‘backdoored’, but remarks that other coaches have suggested as such.
With Cloutier now being Hull Player-Coach, he has the opportunity to put the experience behind him and prove his coaching ability in the EIHL. We wish him well with that.
