The Flyers have re-invented themselves in a matter of a season. They finally have a second-line center in Kevin Hayes. Also, Chuck Fletcher added some experience in shut-down defensemen as well. There is no secret that the orange and black are stockpiled with some bull-dog prospects that are chomping at the bit to make the big club. Some proud prospects will finally make the roster this fall. Finally, Flyers Training Camp is upon us, and the proud orange-clad fans are pumped. They are ready for training camp to get underway.
Lots of positional battles will ensue at this year’s Training Camp. For instance, third-line wing, fourth-line wing, and a battle for the seventh defenseman spot. Oh yea how can we forget…the Flyers will not have a battle to decide who will be the number one goaltender this season. Finally, Carter Hart has arrived to be the savior of the franchise at this position. Without further delay, here is a whistle-stop guide to the 2019 Flyers training camp that opens on Friday, September 13th at 8:30 a.m. sharp.

ELC Watch:
Wyatte Wylie who was a 5th round draft pick in 2018 will be vying for an ELC. The Everett Silvertips afforded this RHD to stay in Philly to train all summer. Hopefully, Wylie garner’s an ELC.
Mika Cyr, a center/winger for the Moncton Wildcats was an invite to Developmental Camp, Rookie Camp, and now Training Camp. He has made quite an impression on the Flyers top brass, as Cyr is a speedy 200ft player. He plays with the pace of the game, and is sound defensively, as well.
Fans:
On Saturday, September 14, there will be plenty of free stuff and activities for the kids.
