ARLINGTON, Va. — Peter Laviolette is one of just two representatives from the Philadelphia Flyers on the 2014 USA Olympic squad — the other being Paul Holmgren, who is part of the leadership group. Homer isn’t here at the Men’s National Team Orientation Camp today and tomorrow at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex, but Laviolette is…
Steve Mason’s goalie mask will feature Ben Franklin and Betsy Ross as zombies next season. It’s not quite done yet, but it should be a pretty unique look. Of course, the bigger question: How many times we will see it on the ice? More from Broad Street Hockey: Trenton Titans owe fans, charities thousands of…
Restricted free agent Brandon Manning has finally signed a contract with the Flyers — nearly two months after he officially became an RFA. The Flyers announced the deal late Thursday but, as is their policy, terms were not disclosed. We do know that it’s a one-year deal. Manning, a 23-year old-defenseman, has played 10 games…
I think most of us are going into the 2013-14 season assuming that it will be Kimmo Timonen’s farewell tour. He’s 38 years old, and while that’s old for an NHLer in and of itself, the amount of wear on his tires is much worse than the average defenseman. But is there a chance he…

When new, local ownership purchased the ECHL’s Trenton Devils in the summer of 2011, they pledged to turn around a once-proud franchise that had been turned into a laughing stock by its Newark-based owners. They changed the name back to the Titans, a moniker they had held for eight seasons before being purchased by the…

The Flyers debuted Episode 2 of Flight Plan on Wednesday night, and on the whole, the episode wasn’t nearly as interesting as Episode 1. They basically just followed around Samuel Morin on draft day and spent eight minutes trying to convince us he’s Chris Pronger, as Rich Coogan put it on Twitter. There was really…
