The Flyers announced on Sunday evening that Ian Laperriere has been named the head coach of the organization's AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
The Flyers announced on Tuesday that they have mutually agreed to part ways with Lehigh Valley Phantoms head coach Scott Gordon. In addition, Phantoms assistant coach Kerry Huffman stepped down from his position.

The Flyers announced the signing of 2017 fourth-round pick Maksim Sushko to an entry-level deal, while the team's AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced a contract extension with head coach Scott Gordon.
Phantoms forward Danick Martel and defenseman T.J. Brennan have been selected as participants in the AHL All-Star Classic, set to take place in Utica, NY on Jan. 28-29.
The Phantoms are currently carrying highly-touted prospects like Oskar Lindblom, Sam Morin and Phil Myers on their roster. But there is one player who is stealing the show and leading the league in scoring early: Danick Martel.
Next season there will surely be tangible results of general manager Ron Hextall’s long-term plan for the Flyers whether they win or not.
