I was told recently that hockey has a very high percentage of female fans in comparison to other professional sports. It shocked me because, well, I’m from the South and we like our football. Women and men. So, how in the world did I become a hockey fan, even more, a Philadelphia Flyers fan? ::waves:: Hi. I’m the newbie on the site, which is pretty apropos because I’m a newbie in …

Alive at 45?
While us penguins continue to wilt in the usual Northeastern Summer heat, pining for the days when a cool iceberg awaits our collectively scorched behinds, thoughts about the upcoming (and too far off) season still seep their way into our Sun-addled brains.

Snider to enter U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame
The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Monday afternoon that chairman Ed Snider is an inductee for the 2011 class of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. In a sense, the selection of the man intent on protecting his singular legacy as the person who made the Flyers what they are today was inevitable, but it was still a shockingly long time in coming. Snider was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder way back in 1988, while he still held considerable sway over Flyers business and also that of the NHL’s Board of Governors.
