NHL: Philadelphia Flyers coach John Tortorella is happy to have Rocky Thompson on staff: “One of the most intelligent hockey guys I’ve met.”
SAN JOSE – Former San Jose Sharks associate coach Rocky Thompson, who stepped away from the team in Sept. 2021 after one challenging and turbulent season, has found a welcoming new home with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Thompson, 45, was hired by the Sharks prior to the start of the 2020-2021 season, Boughner’s first full year as head coach, to coordinate the team’s power play and coach the defensemen. The league lifted its vaccination requirement before the start of this season. The Flyers denied a request by this news organization to interview Thompson, as they do not allow assistant coaches to speak with reporters.
Tortorella had some coaches back for second interviews when Larsen called again, warning him not to lose Thompson, an enforcer throughout his 10-year pro career because other NHL teams were ready to pounce. The Sharks’ power play, with new coach David Quinn, entered Thursday ranked 14th in the NHL at 22.8 percent.
