Former Oilers Coach Banned Donuts From Edmonton Media

His record during his tenure in Oil Country was a dismal 29-44-9.

In fact, he became infamous in the eyes of local Edmonton media for a draconian act he committed. He banned the donut tray, not for his own players but for the local media.

Eakins was hired as coach in the summer of 2013, but his unpopularity due to his losing record and treatment by the media led to his firing just 18 months later. It's hard to admire a self-righteous health nut, after all.
