For the veteran community in Philadelphia, the opportunity to play hockey wasn't always present. A simple phone call changed all that and allowed the Philadelphia Flyer Warriors to become a reality.

In a trying year for the franchise where production seems to be down across the board, Claude Giroux still has the numbers and is still playing at a level that puts him among the NHL’s best and is adding to a resume that ranks him among Flyers legends.

During the heart of the 1990s, Eric Lindros was recognizable as any, and a lot of it had to do with an iconic number that was all his own. Chances are if you see a player wearing No. 88 today, Eric Lindros had something to do with it. And the number defined not only Lindros' career, but an era of Flyers hockey.

It wont have the same appeal as their Winter Classic game, but it'll be just as fun. The Philadelphia Flyers announced a special alumni game to celebrate their affiliation with the Reading Royals.
