Daily News | Flyers Hall of Famer Rick Tocchet hired to replace Bruce Boudreau as Vancouver Canucks coach
STEVEN M. FALK / Staff PhotographerFormer Flyers winger Rick Tocchet, who was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame last season, became the Vancouver Canucks’ 21st head coach on Sunday.
The Lightning’s new ownership group fired him in 2010, and Tocchet picked back up in 2014 when he joined the Pittsburgh Penguins as an assistant and won two Stanley Cups with them. Tocchet landed his second head coaching job in 2017 when he took over the Arizona Coyotes. He made it to the playoffs for the first time as a head coach in 2019-20, but he and the organization mutually agreed to part ways after the 2020-21 season.
Tocchet’s NHL playing career began and ended in Philadelphia. The Flyers selected him in the sixth round of the 1983 draft. He debuted in the 1984-85 season and played eight seasons before being traded to the Penguins. In addition to winning the Stanley Cup as a Penguins coach, he also won it as a player.
