Rick Tocchet’s Surprising Return: What This Means for the Flyers’ Future
“I’ve always been a Flyer at heart and have taken that passion and energy that embodies this city and organization with me throughout my career,” said Tocchet. “I want to thank Danny Briere, Keith Jones and Dan Hilferty for this honor and opportunity. I couldn’t be more excited to lead this team back among the NHL elite where we belong. We have a lot of work to do and much to accomplish, but I am confident in the direction we are heading and determined to get us there.”
Tocchet, 61 (4/9/1964), has been a head coach in the National Hockey League for parts of nine seasons, most recently with the Vancouver Canucks for the past three seasons. Overall, he has a career record of 286-265-87 in 638 regular season games with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2008-10), Arizona Coyotes (2017-2021), and Canucks (2022-25).
