     Former Florida Panthers head coach Peter DeBoer has been let go by the Vegas Golden Knights. He had coached in the last three Western Conference Finals /Stanley Cup Semifinals and reached that round in five of the last 10 seasons.

     DeBoer was hired by the Florida Panthers in June 2008 for his first NHL head coaching job. He spent three seasons with the Panthers and had a 103-107-6 record. 

     He was scooped up by the New Jersey Devils during that offseason in July 2011. DeBoer helped the club win the 2012 Eastern Conference title and reach the Stanley Cup Final against the Los Angeles Kings in his first season at the helm. He was released by the Devils during his fourth season. 

     DeBoer landed in San Jose for the 2015-16 campaign and was there for five seasons. The Sharks ended up being the 2017 Western Conference champions in his first season there. They lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final 4-2. 

     He joined the Vegas Golden Knights during the middle of the 2019-20 campaign in January 2020. The team reached the Western Conference Finals in his first season and fell to the Dallas Stars in five games. The Golden Knights got to the Stanley Cup Semifinals in the following year and were upset by the Montreal Canadiens in six games.
