The 2025–26 Philadelphia Flyers season will be the 59th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967. The team's home arena, known as the Wells Fargo Center since 2010, was renamed the Xfinity Mobile Arena on August 14.[1]

Offseason

[edit]

On May 14, former Flyer Rick Tocchet was hired as the 25th head coach in franchise history.[2] Tocchet, who had coached the Vancouver Canucks for the past three seasons and won the Jack Adams Award in 2024, signed a reported five-year contract that makes him one of the NHL's highest paid coaches.[3] Associate coach Brad Shaw, who had served as interim head coach after John Tortorella was fired on March 27 and was a candidate for the head coach job, left the team and was named an assistant for the New Jersey Devils.[4][5]

Hired to fill out the coaching staff were assistant coaches Todd Reirden, Jaroslav Svejkovsky, Jay Varady, and video coach Dylan Crawford.[6][7] Reirden had most recently been an associate coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins for four seasons while Varady served as an assistant for the past three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings. Svejkovsky and Crawford had worked under Tocchet in Vancouver. Previous assistants Rocky Thompson, Darryl Williams, and skills coach Angelo Ricci were not retained.[8]
