Joe Fisher and the Hacker Family
About 2 months ago, our Fan Club President, Joe Fisher, received an e-mail from a gentleman in Germany, Wolfgang Hacker, asking him some questions about the Flyers team. He and his son Tobi were coming to Philadelphia for a week to take in three Flyers games.
Here is what Joe had to say about the Hackers in Philly : - )
We wrote back and forth for the next few weeks and agreed to meet at their first game, on a Sunday night at the Fan Club table.
It was very nice, Maureen and I hit it off with them. I brought them a couple of Flyers t-shirts, magnets, programs and other Flyers stuff. They really liked it, we talked for a while and we told them we would see them at the next game.
Tuesday night, we met Wolfgang and Tobi at the table and introduced them to the PFFC members who were there. I gave Tobi an autographed Briere bobble head that was mine and wanted him to have, because Briere was his favorite player. He was thrilled. We shared a few adult beverages and called it a night until the next game.
Their final game, Thursday night, we met again to take pictures and we gave them a few souvenirs from the Flyers. They were both speechless, very emotional and very happy. We parted ways that night and vowed to keep in touch. So far, we have.
The point of this story is how lucky I was to answer that e-mail from a complete stranger, meet up with him and his son, and forge a relationship that I'm sure will last.
The best thing about it is, the only common denominator was hockey and specifically, Flyers hockey. It was refreshing to me to see the game, team, our building, the game day presentation and everything else we take for granted, through a fresh set of eyes. It was cool.

Cliff Lentz and the "Phanatic around Town" project.
Cliff Lentz, one of our PFFC members, was one of 20 artists chosen for the "Phanatic around Town" project that will be unveiled on Monday, March 29th at the Please Touch Museum in Fairmont Park. The candidates were all chosen based on the theme and the sketches they submitted
Because of Cliff’s Space Connection, he chose a space theme. Instead of the traditional White Moon Suit and being a Flyers fan at heart, he chose to do the launch and reentry suits in mostly orange and black. It's something of a stretch to see the Phanatic in orange, but it all worked out well.

Her Dad did all the work himself. Her Mom bought all the Flyers Gear. I’d say it came out pretty spectacular

In 1976 the Flyers beat the Central Red Army team. Bob found a comic that was published in the Russia newspaper, Pravda, 2 days after the game. The cartoon shows the Flyers players as cavemen carrying clubs. Bob had it printed onto a tee shirt and took it to the Flyers Wives Carnival. A bunch of the Flyers signed it and all had a good laugh.

Thank you so much for sending in this picture! ... (I wish I knew your name to thank you properly)
Just Born: “Kiley”. Shes’s our newest Flyers fan ... following in her Daddy's footsteps.
She was named after a combination of a few Flyers players. Both her mommy & daddy's idea after they came to a stalemate on names and couldn't agree.
Kiley is tired after a long game. ...

 Hi! We are Flyers fans that happen to live in Long Island, NY - our son, Aidan, 5, is just as big a Flyers fan as we are.
Aidan watches as many games as we can get on TV here, comes to the Wachovia Center for a game or two each year with us and wears his Flyers jerseys and t-shirts everywhere - he even boos people wearing Rangers jerseys! We have him well trained! When we visited the Adventure Aquarium during our summer vacation, Aidan made sure to wear his favorite Flyers shirt hoping to see other fans there too. And we did! We captured this photo of him standing in front of the Philly skyline.... Looking forward to a great season!! Go Flyers!!! ...

AMANDA COUSINS FATHER’S FLYERS SHRINE

 Amanda Cousins sent pictures of her father's Flyers shrine. Along with the photos she sent a great letter.
Thank you Amanda for sharing!!
Hi my name is Amanda Cousins, and my daddy is a Philadelphia flyers freak! I think the photos featured on your site should be pictures of how much the people love the flyers, like say people at a flyers game, or even a shrine that someone has made. Anyways I would greatly appreciate it if you would post this picture on your site, It's my fathers pride and joy. His Philadelphia Flyers shrine. I hope you read and respond to my letter. It would mean so much to me. And it would mean so much to my dad if his shrine was posted on the world wide web.

My name is Kasper "Dog" and I'm the number one four legged Flyer fan. Me and my master never miss cheering for a Flyer goal. I plan to become a service dog and help the disabled to attend hockey games. Together with my master Kamil we wanted to wish the Flyers continual success in the future as they make their push for the biggest water bowl on earth.

2nd Annual Cote Carnival
|

Cote Fights Back by Lois Witulski
The 2nd Annual Cote Carnival was held on Sunday, August 23, 2009 to benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA). Riley & Holly Cote, Swanky Bubbles Restaurant and the Flyers Organization once again did an amazing job organizing this remarkable event. Since his sister Jaime was diagnosed with MS several years ago, Riley has done all he can to raise awareness for the fight against this disease.
The Carnival featured a delicious buffet with drinks, a silent auction & raffle, a game room presented by Best Buy and live music by the local band Split Decision. Flyers Ray Emery, Danny Briere, Jeff Carter, Arron Asham and Andreas Nodl, along with prospects James van Riemsdyk, Patrick Maroon and Mike Ratchuk came out to help by signing autographs and posing for pictures. As for Riley, he was absolutely amazing, personally taking the time to sign autographs, pose for pictures and greet every fan in attendance.
As with many charities throughout the year, the PFFC always does what we can to help. The Fan Club made a generous donation to the cause. Joe & Maureen Fisher, Jen Ebling, Stacey Squilla and I volunteered at the PFFC table, where we gave out fan club gifts to the guests and provided information about our club. From the looks of things everyone had awesome time.
Over $25,000.00 was raised at this year’s Carnival, shattering last year’s total. Great job Riley! Keep up the fight!
