Big honor for Homer.
Flyers president and former general manager Paul Holmgren has a long, lengthy history as an executive and advisor with USA Hockey, and that will continue for next year's World Cup of Hockey.
Holmgren was named the assistant general manager of Team USA for the 2016 event, which will be held in Toronto from September 17 to October 1 next year. He'll serve under general manager Dean Lombardi, of the Los Angeles Kings, and he'll work with Jim Johansson and Brian Burke on the management team as well.
