The Philadelphia Flyers went outside the box in replacing Craig Berube. On Monday morning, it was announced that GM Ron Hextall hired University of North Dakota head coach Dave Hakstol as the team’s newest head coach.
“Dave brings a wealth of head coaching experience and success to the Philadelphia Flyers organization,” said Hextall. “He’s a proven winner and we are pleased to have him become part of the Flyers family.”
“I am extremely excited to be named the Philadelphia Flyers new head coach,” said Hakstol. “Through the process here with Ron [Hextall] and everybody in the Flyers organization I have gained even more of an understanding of the history and tradition of this organization and I’m very proud to become part of the Philadelphia Flyers today.
