Former NHL player Brandon Prust has been fired from his head coaching position with the London Nationals.

Prust was let go despite a good playoff run last year and the team sitting fourth overall in the Western Conference.

He has been the head coach of the Nationals since April 2024. General Manager Keli Corpse will take over the position.
