ARLINGTON, Va. -- Dale Hunter, the former Washington Capitals captain who took over as coach after the team fired Bruce Boudreau in November, won't return, telling the squad he wants to return to his family in Canada.

Hunter says: "It was the right thing to do."

He told general manager George McPhee of the decision Monday, two days after the Capitals were eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Rangers in Game 7.
