The Flyers have a rich storied history, and it all began on this day February, 9, 1966. It was a day the Flyers were born, and a big thank you goes to the late Ed Snider for making this possible.
On this day. Feb 9, 1966, Philadelphia was selected as one of the cities to build an NHL franchise team in the expansion draft. Since then, they have won two Stanley Cups, and have accumulated tons of points.
The orange and black have won 2,062 games and have accumulated 4,758 points (2,062-1,452-457-177 career record). This is a great day to be a Flyers fan, as the Flyers are 8-3-2 on the season, and should contend for the Stanley Cup this season.
Happy Birthday Flyers!!! February 9 will always have a special place in Flyers fans hearts.
Happy Birthday to the best team!! And thank you Jamey for the article.
