Munich, Germany - Doug Bradley’s first head coaching stint is over. After five straight losses, the Frankfurt Lions fired the former Barons assistant Wednesday.

Originally hired as an assistant, Bradley assumed head coaching reigns in October when fellow-Canadian Blair MacDonald got fired by the Lions after a dismal start into the new campaign.

The 45-year-old Bradley, who won the DEL title with the Barons in 2000, eventually couldn’t turn around Frankfurt’s fortunes, though. The team currently ranks 14th in the league and is apparently out of playoff contention. With only two teams behind them in the standings, the Lions will need a boost to avoid relegation.
