Flyer'd Up! Trivia, Facts and Anecdotes for Fans of the Orange and Black

Overview

On the pages of Flyer'd Up! Trivia, Facts, and Anecdotes for fans of the Orange and Black, you will find extensive trivia along with stories and quotes from the Broad Street Bullies, along with players from the 80's, 90's and today.

Also in the book are contributions from such noted hockey writers and broadcasters as Al Morganti, Anthony SanFilippo, Bill Meltzer and Glen Macnow, along with touching dedications to Flyers great Pelle Lindbergh and legendary broadcaster Gene Hart, right from the pen of his daughter Lauren, who is currently the teams' anthem singer. You will also enjoy great photos and hand drawn illustrations, along with some fun tidbits of information along the way. Even a space for you to collect autographs from your favorite Flyers.

Hundreds of hours have been spent compiling facts, conducting interviews, and conveying many thoughts, stories and memories. It was a project that was a labor of love and I would be honored if you would allow yourselves, the best fans in professional sports, to sit back and read through the many pages of Flyers lore and enjoy a moment celebrating what I consider to be the best franchise in all of sport.
