I did not vote, and I have my doubts about Peters, but here are some things that I think bode well for his candidacy:
· 2005–08: took the Spokane Chiefs in his first three years as a head coach from out of the playoffs to the WHL championship and the Memorial Cup.
· 2008–10: led the Rockford Icehogs to two straight 40-win seasons, and then in 2011 had a winning record with the youngest team in the AHL.
· 2016: coached Team Canada to a World Championship, and was then added the coaching staff of Canada's World Cup team along side of Joel Quenneville, Barry Trotz, and Claude Julien.
· After his tenure in the WHL and the AHL his teams either performed worse, or they flat-lined under new coaches.
