Lehigh Valley Phantoms

The Flyers officially announced their minor league coaching staff, hiring John Snowden as Lehigh Valley Phantoms head coach.

Ian Laperriere will not be returning as Phantoms head coach, while the four Flyers representatives at World Championships are having success.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms were unable to close out the series on home ice, then lost a deciding Game 5 on Sunday to the Hershey Bears.

The Lehigh Valley Phantoms are a win away from advancing to the Atlantic Division finals and defeating the back-to-back defending Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears.

Helge Grans scored the game-winning goal to help the Phantoms sweep the Penguins in the opening round of the Calder Cup Playoffs.

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.

Phil Myers is sometimes the forgotten prospect on a blue line that now has five players with NHL experience, simply because he is marinating in the AHL at the moment. But his time is coming soon, and when it does, his potential could make him one of the Flyers top defensemen.

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.
