H-E-doublehockeysticks: Phantoms have new coach

The Philadelphia Flyers announced Terry Murray will be the new head coach for the Adirondack Phantoms.

"We feel very fortunate to be able to bring Terry back to the Flyers organization as head coach of the Phantoms," Philadelphia general manager Holmgren said. "Terry brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, is an excellent teacher and a strong believer in the development process of young players."

"Terry has a long and successful history of winning and developing players," added Phantoms president Jim Brooks. "We look forward to him joining our Phantoms staff."

"I really appreciate the opportunity to come back to the Flyers organization, and I'm really looking forward to the challenge that's out there of coaching the Phantoms," Murray said. "The youth playing down in the American Hockey League is a real important part of the organization. I'm looking forward to the challenge of getting back into the playoffs and helping these young players develop and become NHL players as quickly as possible."

This is Murray's third stint as a coach. He was head coach of the Flyers from 1994-97, winning the Stanley Cup in 1997. He was 118-64-30 in 212 games with Philadelphia. In 1,012 NHL games as head coach, he is 499-383-89-41.
