John Tortorella had a former hockey coach help him Monday at Philadelphia Flyers training camp — the father of the late John and Matthew Gaudreau, who was an invited guest.

The Flyers tapped their sticks in appreciation of Guy Gaudreau, a former hockey coach at Hollydell Ice Arena and Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey, when he hit the ice to assist with drills during practice.

The Flyers shook Gaudreau's hand at the end of the skate in appreciation and thanked him for helping. "He was hesitant at first, and we kind of let him go at his timetable," Tortorella said. "I think it worked out really well today.

I gave him my camp book. We're going to check in next week and see if we can get him out here a couple more times and have him be part of it.
