Tonight is the Flyers Hockey Fights Cancer awareness game, and with that the Flyers made a signing yesterday. They signed 9-year-old forward Owen Micciche. Micciche is from Upper Black Eddy, PA. He will be present at warm-ups tonight on the ice, so if you want to catch a glimpse of him you have to arrive to the game early.
According to the Flyers, Micciche wears #85 is a forward for the Genesis Hockey Club where he serves as captain of the team. He continues his fight against cancer and if you would like more information here is the link below.
Oskar Lindblom
it is a ritual for the NHL to acknowledge Hockey Fights Cancer awareness each season, and everytime the Flyers have had one since Oskar Lindblom’s diagnosis, I always seem to think of him. I’m happy he continues to beat Cancer, and can play the sport he has come to love and know.
Athletes are human too. Lindblom is always happy, upbeat, and in good spirits daily. It’s tough for a team to lose that type of upbeat personality in the locker room. Whatever the case maybe, Lindblom its always great to see you back home, and on the ice. Everyone remain #OskarStrong. We are in this fight together with Lindblom. That bell being rung when Oskar was done treatments was the most beautiful noise I have ever heard.
