John LeClair Joins Flyers Front Office as Special Advisor

The shake up of the Philadelphia Flyers front office continues. First, Daniel Briere was named general manager. Then Briere hired Keith Jones to be the president of hockey operations. The other day, Patrick Sharp was hired as an advisor to Briere. Today, another former Flyer has joined the team management. This time, it is former Flyer great John LeClair. He, just like Sharp, has just been named as a Special Advisor to Hockey Operations.

Essentially, it is the same position as Sharp. Both Sharp and LeClair will work with Briere on how to improve the team with a focus on the development of their younger players.
