Ian Laperrière Receives 2-Year Extension as Phantoms Coach
June 20, 2024 by Andrew McGuinness
Ian Laperrière has been a member of the Philadelphia Flyers organization for a decade and a half. His role, however, has changed quite a bit over the years. He arrived as a player, dressing for all 82 games of the 2009-10 season, then courageously returned from a blocked shot to the face in the Eastern Conference Final and helped the Flyers come within two wins of the Stanley Cup. Unfortunately, post-concussion syndrome prevented him from playing in the NHL again, with his perseverance earning him the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2011.
