Dallas Stars coach Pete DeBoer was fired Friday after three seasons with the team, getting to the Western Conference final each time but never advancing past that for a shot at the Stanley Cup. The move came eight days after the Stars ended their season in a 6-3 loss at home to Edmonton in Game 5 of the West final.

The Stars fired Pete DeBoer despite bringing Dallas to the Western Conference final in all three of his seasons as head coach.

On Friday morning, the Stars announced they dismissed head coach Pete DeBoer, who in his three-year tenure led the team to the Western Conference Finals each season. It is the most productive stretch in the history of the franchise, second only to their run in the late ‘90s, and their Stanley Cup teams in ‘99 and ‘00.
