Flyers All Over Philly Region This Summer: Dates, Times

In the ongoing effort to grow the sport of hockey, members of the Flyers organization will lead 26 “Hooked on Hockey” clinics for over 3,000 youths throughout the Philadelphia region during the summer months. Participants will take part in hockey drills including stick handling, passing and shooting while learning that they can have fun as they stay active.

Ambassador of Flyers Hockey Bob “The Hound” Kelly will host and interact with youth participants at each Hooked on Hockey clinic this summer. The Flyers alumnus played with the Philadelphia Flyers for 10 years and helped the team win two consecutive Stanley Cup championships in 1974 and 1975. He continues to be a part of the Flyers community today.

Celebrating its 10-year anniversary this summer, “Hooked on Hockey” is a part of the Flyers community effort to provide children with opportunities to learn the fundamentals of hockey, teamwork and the importance of being active. Since its inception in 2004, the clinic has seen almost 30,000 participants and continues to gain popularity in the community, while also receiving repeat appearance requests. The Flyers community relations team also hosts the Flyers School Assembly program throughout the school year, which visits approximately 90 schools and reaches over 30,000 students annually.

Each participant in the Hooked on Hockey program will receive a Flyers activity book and a Flyers Mylec street hockey stick, encouraging each child to stay “Hooked on Hockey”.

Fans are invited to the Official Flyers NHL Draft Headquarters at XFINITY Live! Philadelphia on Sunday, June 30 and participate in the free “Hooked on Hockey” clinic for children under the age of 14. For event details visit PhiladelphiaFlyers.com.
