The Philadelphia Flyers are one of the most storied and successful franchises in the National Hockey League (NHL). Founded in 1967, the "Flyers" captured back-to-back Stanley Cups in the 1970s.
In 1974 and 1975, the Flyers triumphed behind legendary goaltender Bernie Parent and a potent offensive core of Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber and Reggie Leach. Unforgettable are Parent's acrobatic saves and Leach's iconic "Reggie!" goal celebration.
The 80s brought an era of finals heartbreak, including a 1987 loss to Wayne Gretzky's Edmonton Oilers despite heroics from goaltending icon Ron Hextall, who was named playoff MVP.
Today's young core features talents like Travis Konecny, Carter Hart and Ivan Provorov. The passionate fans at Wells Fargo Center relentlessly spur on their Flyers - capturing that next Stanley Cup seems only a matter of time
