The Philadelphia Flyers are a professional ice hockey team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference. Founded in 1967 as part of the NHL's expansion, the team plays its home games at the Wells Fargo Center in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
The Flyers are notable for being the first expansion team after the Original Six era to win the Stanley Cup, achieving this championship victory in back-to-back seasons during 1973–74 and 1974–75. This early success established them as a formidable franchise in the league and earned them a passionate fan base.
Recently, the Flyers have been in the news for setting a new franchise record by scoring multiple goals in a very short period during a game, highlighting a significant offensive achievement for the team. Additionally, the organization has been honoring the legacy of Bernie Parent, a legendary former goaltender for the team who recently passed away, commemorating his contributions to their historic successes.
