Former NHL coach Kevin Constantine was fired as coach of the Wenatchee Wild on Thursday, a day after he was suspended indefinitely by the Western Hockey League for making “derogatory comments of a discriminatory nature.” In its first season in Washington after moving from Winnipeg, Manitoba, the team said associate head coach Chris Clark and assistant coach Andrew Sarauer will continue to direct the club while it searches for a head coach. Constantine was suspended Sept. 24 pending an independent investigation that found he violated the WHL’s standard of conduct policies. The 64-year-old Constantine coached in the NHL from 1993-2002 with the San Jose Sharks, Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils.
