Strange situation unfolding in the OHL tonight.

Just heard Flint Firebirds come from behind against defending memorial cup champions, Oshawa tonight. Down 3-1. Come back & win 4-3 in OT...

..Coaches fired immediately after game. Entire team, all 24 Guys storm upstairs to front office, throw jersey on ground, quit and walk out

Another source: "such a show of solidarity when the boys bonded together and walked out. Even his (owner's) son quit."

update:

The #OHL's Flint Firebirds have fired coaches John Gruden and Dave Karpa for the second time this season.
