A familiar face will be joining former Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet, as the team’s former video coach, Dylan Crawford, has also been hired by the Philadelphia Flyers. Crawford will join the Flyers organization as an assistant video coach after splitting the past seven years with the Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks.
“Dylan adds another level to our video team in an area that is rapidly expanding and becoming more critical in the outcome of games and the way teams prepared,” Tocchet said in a statement provided by the Flyers earlier today.
Crawford, son of former Canucks head coach Marc Crawford, had been with Vancouver for three seasons before making the move to Philadelphia. The majority of his time with the Canucks organization was spent with Tocchet as head coach. Prior to this, he was an assistant video coach for the Blackhawks, starting in 2018 and concluding his role in 2021.
Crawford is now the third member of the 2024–25 Canucks coaching staff to join the Flyers. Tocchet’s move from Vancouver to Philadelphia came shortly after he announced that he would not be returning to the Canucks. Joining him a couple of weeks after this was assistant coach Yogi Švejkovský, who moved on from the Canucks organization after a season with the Abbotsford Canucks and three with Vancouver.
