Jon Cooper is one of the most well-respected people in hockey, thanks to his success as head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning, and his overall demeanour.

Today, he has issued a heartfelt apology for his remarks:

It is shocking to hear that this affected him more than losing the series; every mistake like this is highlighted in a massive way on social media.

It is clear that Jon Cooper is very sorry for his actions. Hopefully he will learn for the better and not make a mistake like this again.
