I panicked at first when I thought it was Torts.

Now that would be frightening, give a retread Dino a 3 year deal to "turn this team around."

Hiring an assistant coach (when you have a vacancy mid-season) who you know and is available isn't anything to get excited about.

At least this guy has coached in the AHL and probably can work with young players in March and April after we trade a half dozen guys at the TDL.

My buddy played for this guy in Iowa... He is a bad cookie.

This is bad. Very bad.

It gets worse..

"On January 15, 2019, Torchetti was announced to return as the head coach and director of hockey operations for the Moncton Wildcats. On December 14, 2019, the Wildcats announced that Torchetti was fired, a decision made due to "internal reasons."
