Shocking video leaks: fans furious with Craig Berube's actions

Just shortly after the news of his hire as the incoming head coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Craig Berube is under fire for a racist remark he made during his career as an NHL player.

After Sheldon Keefe was fired from his five-year tenure as the head coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs, he was quickly replaced by former NHL left wing and head coach for the St. Louis Blues, Craig Berube.


However, it has become a bumpy ride for the former Maple Leaf player, as a video of him from his time with the Washington Capitals resurfaced. In this clip, an anchor from the Los Angeles Times detailed that Berube used a highly offensive racial slur against Peter Worrell during a game in 1997.



Though Berube apologized and faced suspension, only the future holds whether or not he will make a similar mistake. If he does, he can guarantee that the consequences will be far greater than they were nearly thirty years ago, as we have already seen with the ongoing investigation into Oilers assistant coach Paul Coffey, who was recently caught making a racist gesture during a game.




With the league taking matters of bigotry more seriously, Craig Berube will undoubtedly take more precautions to avoid the same offensive remarks. Hopefully for Toronto, his past will not negatively impact his coaching ability.
