Quick Hits: June 1, 2020

1) In today's edition of Flyers Daily on the Flyers Broadcast Network, Jason Myrtetus interviews Flyers skills Angelo Ricci. There has been a growing trend across the NHL to hire a skills coach to work individually and in small groups with players. Ricci discusses his work in conjunction with Flyers players and what it's like to work at hockey's top level in the world to assist players to fine tune their games. To listen, click here.

2) Upcoming on the Flyers official website: An overview of each of the four prospects --defenseman Linus Högberg and forwards Tanner Laczynski, Wade Allison and Linus Sandin -- that the organization has signed since mid-March. The Flyers are currently in discussions with defenseman Wyatt Kalynuk, whom they have an exclusive 30-day window to sign after his recent decision to forego his senior year at Wisconsin and turn pro. Thereafter, he can become an unrestricted free agent if unsigned.

3) On Thursday at 8 p.m. on the Flyers Alumni YouTube channel, there will be a "2nd premiere" of the 1974 Decades show, featuring hosts Bill Clement and Jim Jackson along with panelists Bob Clarke, Bernie Parent, Bill Barber, Joe Watson and Terry Crisp. There will be an all-new live chat during the 2nd premiere viewing party, which I will moderate. Visit and subscribe to the Flyers Alumni YouTube channel.



4) June 1 Flyers Alumni birthdays: Paul Coffey (1961), Dan Quinn (1965), Eric Meloche (1976), Jeff Hackett (1968), Murray Baron (1967), and the late Larry "the Rock" Zeidel (1928-2014).
