The Dallas Stars have fired head coach Pete DeBoer after three seasons in charge, with the Texas powerhouse making the Western Conference Finals in each of those years.
DeBoer is a longtime NHL head coach, who achieved plenty of success leading the Stars’ bench but failed to get the team to the Stanley Cup Finals in a trio of direct attempts.
The Stars were eliminated the last two postseasons by the Edmonton Oilers, with a defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023.
The 56-year-old DeBoer has 18 seasons of NHL experience as a head coach and has never won a Stanley Cup.
He led the New Jersey Devils in 2012 and the San Jose Sharks in 2016 to his only pair of Stanley Cup Finals as a bench boss, where his team lost to the Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins respectively.
DeBoer’s last six seasons leading a team to the playoff have ended with an elimination in the conference finals, dating back to the 2019 playoffs with the Sharks.
