Fife Flyers announced on Friday night that they have parted company with head coach Tom Coolen.

A club statement read:

Fife Flyers Ice Hockey Club can today confirm that the club has parted ways with Head Coach Tom Coolen by mutual consent. We’d like to place on record our thanks and best wishes to Coach Coolen for the future.
Johnny Curran has been appointed interim Head Coach. Johnny, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament earlier in the season has been working alongside Tom Coolen in an Assistant Coach position since October.
Whilst Johnny’s injury means that he is not able to join the team on the ice, Todd Dutiaume has agreed to lead training sessions to implement Johnny’s vision in practice.
We can also confirm that we are actively looking to bolster our coaching team.
To you, the fans, we thank you for your continued patience and support during this tumultuous time. We ask that you give interim coach Curran time to adjust to his new role within the club and to be loud and proud for the players on the ice.
