BREAKING: Flyers add a new member to their coaching staff

According to Elliotte Friedman, Philadelphia is adding Rocky Thompson to its coaching staff. Thompson has been previously an associate head coach for the San Jose Sharks since 2020. Before that, he was the Chicago Wolves (AHL) head coach. He went to the AHL Finals one time.

But there's a (funny?) story regarding Thompson. He took off his shirt during a powerplay meeting when he was with the Sharks and threatened to fight Evander Kane.

Also, he's not vaccinated against COVID-19 (for medical exemption), which could cause problems when the Flyers will play in Canada. A person that didn't receive 2 shots of the COVID-19 vaccine can't enter Canada without doing a 2-week quarantine.
