According to multiple reports, former Lehigh Valley Phantoms head coach Ian Laperriere is set to join the New York Islanders as a pro scout.
This was first reported by Anthony Di Marco of the Daily Faceoff.
Laperriere was moved from behind the Phantoms bench to an advisory role within the Flyers organization back in May.
While it was never clear what his new role in the front office would look like, Laperriere was set to report to Keith Jones.
Now, the former Phantoms coach has a defined role within the Islanders.
When Laperriere made the initial decision to move on from the Phantoms, it was clear he was looking for a bigger opportunity to coach in the NHL. Laperriere was not going to make said jump from an advisory role with the Flyers.
Instead, he parts ways with the organization, looking for a new opportunity with the Islanders.
