Hello all, On account of the pending rain (and the advice from a friend who is a meteorologist at NOAA), we have decided that it is in everyone’s best interest to postpone the roller hockey tournament for now. A rain date will soon be scheduled. At the moment, the first weekend in June seems to be a strong contender. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused anyone and hope to have all the new details worked out soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding, -Marcello

Helping the Boston Marathon victims

By Marcello De Feo
Posted on 04/22/2013 at 11:20 am

We received a few questions recently about what we will do to help the victims of the Boston bombings. We are willing to do whatever we can to help. It has become our custom to host some sort of hockey-related event to raise money for the innocent victims affected by an unfortunate tragedy. After careful consideration, though, I do not believe this is the appropriate route to take in this instance. First of all, we have a significant overlap in participants from event to event and it is not right to ask you to constantly open up your wallets every …

Posted on 04/15/2013 at 11:06 am

So, let’s be honest with ourselves here. The Flyers suck and we know that. However, they do tend to show up against teams like the Penguins and the Bruins and those games are fun to watch. You know what else makes them fun to watch? Being with other Flyers fans and drinking beer. So, let’s celebrate Jaromir Jagr’s return to Philadelphia by drinking together, saluting him, and kicking some Bruin butt. Details: What: Viewing party When: April 23 from 7:00 p.m until the end of the game Where: U.S. Hotel Bar & Grill Why: Because you get drink specials. $3 Bud …

Rest in peace, Captain. You were a true hero.

Posted on 03/02/2013 at 2:44 pm

Wayne Simmonds scored on a beautiful goal in the second period, beating Ottawa goaltender Ben Bishop between the pads to give the Flyers a two-goal lead in an eventual 2-1 victory on Saturday afternoon. Simmonds started the play in his own end, gave an outlet pass to Danny Briere, who dropped it off for Brayden Schenn, who fed a cross-ice pass to Simmonds who went forehand, backhand, and eventually five-hole to beat Bishop. Also scoring for the Flyers was Jakub Voracek, notching his co-team leading ninth goal. Ilya Bryzgalov was stellar again for the Flyers, stopping 33-of-34 shots. The Flyers …
