Even though players have had to drop out of the World Cup of Hockey, there are still some members of the Philadelphia Flyers going. Two of them are Claude Giroux and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, with Giroux representing Canada, and Bellemare, a Frenchman, being a part of the Frankenteam known as Team Europe. Team Canada plays Team…
The Philadelphia Flyers have a lot of young, exciting talent rising through the ranks. While there’s been a lot of focus on the defense, though, it’s impossible to forget about Travis Konecny. For Konecny, 19, it’s either the OHL or NHL for him. His general manager with the Sarnia Sting, Nick Sinclair, believes he’ll be…
If you planned on heading to Voorhees today to catch the first day of Philadelphia Flyers rookie camp — and, you could argue, the first official day of the 2016-17 Flyers season — you might want to rethink.

Everyone who likes dogs is a good person. It’s just a fact of life. And anyone who loves their dog enough to celebrate their birthdays? Well, they’re an awesome person, hands down. Therefore, Wayne Simmonds is an awesome person. But we already knew that. And so does his dog, Jax, celebrating his third birthday. Happy…
It’s September, and Jakub Voracek is already on the board. Well, not as a Flyer, but he’s got his first goal in the World Cup of Hockey for the Czech Republic. Down by one in the second period, Voracek was able to get the puck past Jaroslav Halak with a hell of a shot to…
