Former pro reveals an Eastern Conference team's locker room has always had terrible culture

How much does the culture in an NHL locker room affect the play on the ice? According to what one former player has revealed, it could make a significant change.

The Philadelphia Flyers have been close to the bottom of the league for a few years now. This off-season, they brought in a new head coach in John Tortorella, to try and shift the culture in the dressing room.

According to former NHLer Cam Janssen on the 'Cam and Strick' podcast, the Flyers locker room has been a gong show for a few years now, and Torts is right to have concerns:

Say what you will about Torts, but at least he'll hold his players accountable. He may not be the most well-liked coach in the NHL, but this season has to be about accountability for the Flyers.

Whether Philadelphia improves this season remains to be seen, one thing is clear, though, they won't have an easy time if they don't show up to work and play as hard as they can every day.
