Could This Championship-Winning Assistant Be the Game-Changer the Flyers Desperately Need?
“Communication and teaching are probably two things that will be at the forefront of our next coach,” general manager Danny Briere said April 19 at his end-of-the-season press conference. “When you have a young team in place, I really think those two attributes are extremely important.”
We’ve profiled Mike Sullivan (hired by the Rangers), Rick Tocchet, Pat Ferschweiler, Brad Shaw, Jay Woodcroft and Ian Laperriere. Next up in our series is Jeff Halpern, an assistant coach for the Lightning.
Why Halpern would be a fit
The 49-year-old has two Stanley Cup rings over seven seasons as an assistant with Tampa Bay. The Lightning have made the playoffs every year with Halpern on their staff, a run that has featured three straight Stanley Cup Final appearances. Tampa Bay won back-to-back titles before falling to the Avalanche in 2022.
