Ice hockey – ex-Capitals star has Dundee fans reeling
Former Edinburgh Capitals star Marc Lefebvre stunned Dundee Stars by suddenly quitting the club.
The Canadian has signed for a team in North America and leaves after two years in charge. Lefebvre arrived in Dundee following a spell coaching in Hungary having previously been head coach at Coventry Blaze.
The former Capitals forward replaced Jeff Hutchins who is now an assistant coach at Fife Flyers. Last season, Stars qualified for the play-off semi-finals for the first time where they lost to Cardiff Devils.
His departure has stunned the Dundee support and the move comes as Lefebvre was re-building his squad for next season.
A statement on the club website said: “Dundee Stars can confirm that Marc Lefebvre has left the club with immediate effect. “Marc has agreed terms with a North American organisation. We wish Marc the very best in his future career. “The Dundee Stars are now actively seeking a head coach for the 2017/18 season.”
