Episode 206 featuring Rick Tocchet

Riley Cote and Derek Settlemyre start the show discussing the State Wars Roller Hockey tournament that Nasty attended last week, and our new Head of Business Development Tom Tracy joined us for a quick segment teasing some fun things we have in store. After that, new head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers RICK TOCCHET joined us in studio! Tocc talks to us about what it really means to be a Flyer, how he became the 25th head coach in the history of the Flyers, and a couple of his philosophies and how important trust is in an organization and with his players. Rick addresses coaching players with elite skill, dumping the puck, and Matvei Michkov’s comments about dumping the puck. Jumping ahead Tocchet gives us the rundown on his assistant coaches, Flyers power play struggles, a few key points he stresses as a coach, Development Camp, Alex Bump and Spencer Gill, the Flyers new fighting coach, and expectations for captain Sean Couturier. Moving along we talk about maximizing players’ potential, coaching players when they are struggling, and share a couple funny Mike Sullivan and Craig Berube stories. Wrapping up Tocchet talks about Porter Martone going to the NCAA, Tyson Foerster, the Flyers goaltending situation, and youth hockey.
