Reading, PA - The Philadelphia Flyers announced today they have signed forward Jacob Gaucher to a two-year, entry level contract according to General Manager Daniel Brière.
A forward for the Royals during his entire rookie campaign in 2022-23 (71 gp: 22-39-61) and three games during the 2023-24 season, Gaucher, 23, has played all three of his professional seasons within the Flyers organization. Previously on an American Hockey League (AHL) contract with Lehigh Valley, the Longueuil, Quebec native has accumulated 92 points (40g-52a) across 156 professional career games between Reading in the ECHL and Lehigh Valley in the AHL.
The 6'3", 185-pound, right shot forward has registered 15 points (10g-5a) in 23 regular season games with the Phantoms this season.
