Philadelphia Flyers History
The Flyers were founded in 1967 when the NHL launched “The Great Expansion,” which doubled its size from six to 12 teams. Philadelphia quickly became a contender and won consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975. Known then as the “Broad Street Bullies,” the Flyers were both ruffians and highly skilled. Bobby Clarke was their inspirational captain, with Bernie Parent dominant in goal.
The Flyers were the most successful of the “Second Six” 1967 expansion franchises and were a national sensation. Getting a ticket to their games at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia was impossible. From 1973 to 1989, the Flyers made the Stanley Cup Playoffs every season. They made six Stanley Cup Final appearances in that span, winning twice.
Philadelphia had a second wave of near greatness from 1995 through 2012. During those years, they missed the playoffs only one time. Philadelphia made the Stanley Cup Final twice in those years, losing both times. Eric Lindros was the marquee man of the first portion of that era.
Retired Flyers numbers belong to goalie Bernie Parent #1, defenseman Mark Howe #2, defenseman Barry Ashbee #4, left wing Bill Barber #7, center Bobby Clarke #16, and center Eric Lindros #88.
