Philippe Louis Myre (born November 1, 1948 in Ste. Anne de Bellevu, Quebec) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender and is currently the goaltending coach for the Florida Panthers.

[edit] Playing career

Originally selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1966 NHL Entry Draft, Myre played parts of three seasons with the Canadiens before he was claimed by the Atlanta Flames in the 1972 NHL Expansion Draft, where he would play for almost six seasons. Myre would also play for the St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Rockies, and Buffalo Sabres. The goaltending tandem of Myre and Pete Peeters backstopped the Flyers to a 35-game undefeated streak during the 1979-80 NHL season.

After his playing career, Myre moved into coaching, and is currently the goaltending coach for the Florida Panthers.
