The Wayne Train is back folks. Wayne Simmonds is the new Community Relations Ambassador & Hockey Operations Consultant, the Flyers announced today ahead of the first Flyers rookie game. This is one way for the organization to reconnect with their fans, bringing in a fan favorite.
“Simmonds was deeply involved in community work, founding “Wayne’s Warriors” for military members and hosting “Wayne’s Road Hockey Warriors” to give underprivileged children access to the game. Over his 15-year career with teams like Philadelphia, Nashville, and Toronto, Simmonds played 1,037 regular-season games, notching 526 points and 22 playoff points across 53 postseason contests,” the Flyers said in the press release.
