Philadelphia Flyers Hire Alain Vigneault As Head Coach

General Manager Chuck Fletcher has made his first move of the offseason, as he hired Alain Vigneault as the Philadelphia Flyers Head Coach. There were rumors that the team brought him in for an interview and I guess it went very well given his quick hiring.

Flyers fans probably best remember Vigneault for his time with the New York Rangers, where he served behind their bench for five years before being let go after the 2017-18 season. He’s also coached the Montreal Canadiens and most notably the Vancouver Canucks, where he had plenty of success in leading them to a Western Conference Championship in 2010-11.
