Forward Jacob Gaucher is sticking around with the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

Gaucher has signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Flyers, the team announced Thursday.

Before reaching a deal with the Flyers, Gaucher was on contract in the AHL, playing his second season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms where he has recorded 10 goals and 15 points so far this year in 23 games played.

The 23-year-old is from Longueuil, Que., and played in the QMJHL for four seasons before joining the ECHL’s Reading Royals in 2022-23 for his professional hockey debut.

From there he moved to playing for the Phantoms where he helped advance the team to the second round of the 2024 Calder Cup playoffs with an overtime goal.
