Prince Albert’s Peter Anholt has been named the new head coach and general manager of the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes are currently in last place in the WHL Central Division with a 6-19-3-1 record and have a .276 winning percentage, second worst in the WHL and third worst in the CHL.

Anholt played two years with the Prince Albert Raiders from 1979-1981 and coached the team for eight years, six as a head coach in two different stints. He’s been a head coach for 15 seasons and has made stops with the the Seattle Thunderbirds, the Red Deer Rebels, the Kelowna Rockets, and one year in the Germany with Riessersee SC.
