It’s the summer of change for the Flyers with their new general manager and president. There was bound to be more organizational changes after that. And the team did just that on Friday morning.
They made several significant changes to their hockey operations department. Before a few important promotions, the Flyers announced they relieved Mike O’Connell and John Riley and Kjell Samuelsson. O’Connell was the senior advisor to the GM and player development while Riley and Samuelsson were player development coaches.
O’Connell was hired by the Flyers prior to the 2021-22 season and came to the team with a wealth of knowledge.
