Peter Anholt has resigned as GM of the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The announcement came on Friday and was made by both the team and the WHL. Barclay Parneta will assume the responsibilities of GM for the balance of the 2025-26 WHL season. As per the press release, "Anholt’s resignation follows the investigation of a historical personal conduct matter. The alleged matter, dating to 2015, involved a verbal interaction with a player that, as described, falls outside of the WHL’s Standards of Conduct with respect to threatening and intimidating language. "This follows WHL disciplinary action from November 2025, in which Anholt was suspended and the Lethbridge Hurricanes were fined following a display of intimidating behaviour from Anholt during a post-game address to the team. The WHL was not aware of the allegation from 2015 at the time of the matter from November 2025. "Both claims were filed via the League’s 1-800 WHL Respect hotline, and this claim was investigated by the WHL Security Department. "Despite his departure from the organization, Anholt has agreed to participate in counselling, in the spirit of personal betterment. Anholt’s counselling will be sponsored by the Hurricanes and WHL."
