The Tri-City Storm are excited to announce the hiring of former NHL coach, John Torchetti as the eleventh Head...
Former Flyers assistant coach John Torchetti was recently named head coach, president and director of hockey operations of USHL powerhouse Tri-City Americans.
Torchetti, 61, was hired by Alain Vigneault and the Flyers during the 2021-22 season, spending one lone season in Philadelphia.
The Boston, Ma., native also coached with former Flyers head coach John Tortorella and ex-interim head coach Brad Shaw on the 1999-00 and 2000-01 Tampa Bay Lightning teams.
Have the Flyers torn through too many coaches in recent seasons, or is pivoting to Rick Tocchet the right move?
