The Flyers were in the midst of a youth infused season in 2019-20, before the season was halted due to the Coronavirus. Finally, we were seeing some of the hidden talents that have been stockpiled in various leagues throughout the world trickling into the big club. Of course, young players will make their fair share of mistakes; however, should they learn from them and continue to grow. This young and talented Flyers team will also become a dangerous one in the future. These young players will hopefully share the same successes as The Beatles did with their hit album, “Abbey Road.”

Morgan Frost had some great moments for the Flyers, and hopefully he continues to make this young team a consistent one at the very least defensively when and if his number gets called for the upcoming playoff run. Frost really improved tremendously on the defensive side of the puck as he got more chances with the big club, and he finished the season strong, “I learned how to be a Pro,” Frost said, “Just being around the older guys and seeing how seriously they take care of their bodies, and training. Hopefully, I can get to that level one day.”

This young top black ace in Frost has proven in just his first Professional season that he can push the play, and play with the pace of the game. Yes, Frost was a bit inconsistent at times for the Phantoms (Mainly due to call-ups to the Flyers), however, Frost still finished 29 points in 41 games played (13g, 16a) for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Need I remind you his first NHL goal is a sign of things to come:

The Flyers could really Frost’s explosive speed in the future, but for now Frost is just staying ready in case his number gets called, “This was my second time skating,” Frost said, “In the beginning there wasn’t much to do back at home, but my mom did gave me a key to her gym in Aurora, Ontario where I worked with my trainer, and social distanced. It was nice of my mom to do that, she didn’t have to do that.”

Alain Vigneault’s system requires speed and back checking, and that is an area of Frost’s game that has improved the most over the course of the past few seasons. It should come as no surprise that Frost is the top black ace for this club. He can make things happen on the ice, and back check well. What is neat about Frost is that he doesn’t forget about common people, Frost stays true to himself, “I feel bad that some people didn’t get to experience stuff like I did, like my Prom or high school ending (Due to the Coronavirus). I know they tried to make it special, but I definitely feel bad for those people.” This shows you what type of person he is, and he just turnt 21-years-old, “I turned 21 on May 14,” Frost said, “I had a few friends over at the house, I think 5 or 6 was the allowable limit then. We just hung out in the garage of my house.” What ever the case maybe, you can bet your bottom dollar that Frost will be ready for the playoffs.
