Hakstol, 46, had been the coach at the University of North
Dakota for the previous 11 seasons.
Hakstol replaces Craig Berube, who was fired April 17 after the
Flyers missed the Stanley Cup playoffs. In two seasons, Berube
went 75-58-28.
Hakstol compiled an overall record of 289-143-43 at North Dakota
with a .654 winning percentage in 475 games. In 2014-15, he led
North Dakota to a 29-10-3 record with a .726 winning percentage
and a berth in the NCAA Frozen Four.
