Flyers Hire Todd Reirden as Assistant Coach
The Philadelphia Flyers are set to complete their coaching staff by hiring Todd Reirden as a third assistant coach, primarily responsible for overseeing the team's defense. Reirden, 53, brings extensive NHL coaching experience, having served as an assistant and head coach with the Washington Capitals, where he won a Stanley Cup in 2018, and as an associate coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins. While he previously managed power play duties in Pittsburgh, the Flyers are expected to assign that role to Jaroslav Svejkovský, who, along with Jay Varady, already serves as an assistant under head coach Rick Tocchet. Reirden has a history within the Metropolitan Division and has worked alongside Tocchet's assistants, promising a cohesive coaching unit aimed at improving the Flyers' defensive performance. The hiring has yet to be made official but has been widely reported by multiple sources. This addition rounds out Tocchet’s staff for the 2025-26 NHL season, bringing a blend of championship experience and regional familiarity.
