Kris Mallette's quick jump from the Kelowna Rockets to the Erie Otters raises some interesting questions. Is this a good move for Mallette? The Otters are currently sitting mid-pack in their conference. Is this a rebuilding situation or does Mallette have the potential to turn things around quickly? What does this say about the Rockets organization and their decision to let him go? Were they too hasty? Could they regret this decision if Mallette finds success in the OHL?

I predict Mallette will make a significant impact in Erie. He's proven himself with Hockey Canada and I think this is a chance for him to showcase his abilities at a higher level. It’ll be interesting to see how he adapts to the OHL and the challenges of coaching a new team mid-season.

This move also highlights the revolving door of coaching in junior hockey. How much stability is enough or too much? Does this constant change benefit player development or create an environment of uncertainty? What are your thoughts on the importance of coaching consistency in junior hockey? Let's hear your opinions and experiences!

Why was the old coach fired?
