On Thursday morning, the Flyers announced that "the team has relieved John Tortorella of his duties as head coach. Philadelphia Flyers Associate Coach, Brad Shaw, has been named interim head coach and will assume duties immediately."
“Today I made the very difficult decision to move on from John as our head coach," said Flyers GM Danny Briere. “John played a vital role in our rebuild. He set a standard of play and re-established what it means to be a Philadelphia Flyer.
"John's passion on the bench was only equaled by his charitable work in our community. As we move into the next chapter of this rebuild, I felt this was the best for our team to move forward. I'd like to thank John for his tireless work and commitment to the Flyers."
Tortorella assumed the role of head coach in 2022. During his tenure, he reached 1,500 NHL games coached—the first American-born coach to reach the milestone.
The Flyers have nine games left in the season, including tonight's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens.
