Flyers To Host Islanders In Rookie Game
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Flyers and Islanders will skate tonight at the Wells Fargo Center in a rookie game.
The free tickets offered were gone in just a couple of hours, as the excitement is high for fans regarding the Flyers' prospects -- a unit that was ranked the best in the NHL.
Tonight is much more than a Rookie Game. It's a culmination of how far this team has come in such a short time & how bright the future is.
