Hockey. Is. Back. Eight teams will begin their quest for the Stanley Cup on Wednesday night as the 2019-20 regular-season officially begins. While the Philadelphia Flyers will have to stand by for a couple of days to kick off their new campaign as they face the Chicago Blackhawks for the NHL Global Series in Prague, the wait should be more than worth it.
General Manager and Team President Chuck Fletcher made a plethora of changes to the team after their 2018-19 season came to an end in April. He quickly hired longtime NHL bench-minder Alain Vigneault as the Flyers 21st Head Coach in franchise history and was able to keep former Interim HC Scott Gordon in the organization, too, placing him back at the helm of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms bench.
