Dave Poulin-just an amazing guy! Never drafted, but at age 25 was named the Flyers captain - the torch handed to him by the great Bobby Clarke. Dave talks to us about his time in Sweden and how that shaped him as a captain, what it was like being the liaison between the players and coach Mike Keenan, the weight of trying to live up to the Broad Street Bullies, how amazing Ed Snider was, and some more insight into the behind the scenes respect shown to my dad at the Winter Classic. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

This week we welcome Chuck Fletcher, GM of the Philadelphia Flyers. Chuck grew up in the hockey world just like us, except his dad, Cliff Fletcher was a GM. Chuck wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps and he made it happen! Chuck talks about his journey there, friendships he made along the way, and quickly learned how tough- yet honest- the Philadelphia fans are. It was great to chat with him and learn more about the guy behind the title. Enjoy!

DB!!!! We just had to invite David Boreanaz to join us on the podcast! A Philly guy at heart and avid hockey fan - with the Flyers as his #1, of course:) David loves repping Philly by wearing Philly’s own Biscuit Tees on his show Seal Team. (Among other great Philly sports tees). It was great to hear his story and how he became such an incredible actor with so many great achievements under his belt. Buffy, Angel, Bones, and Seal Team- he always brings success to his projects. Make sure to tune in and get to know the man behind Jason Hayes a little bit better:)

Bruce Boudreau - where do we begin? He has played the game at every level. He has also coached the game at every level with Memorial and Calder Cups under his belt.

On this episode we bring you Brian Propp! Brian grew up in a tiny town in Canada, made his way to the NHL with his amazing talent and quickly became a fan favorite in Philadelphia! After retiring he unexpectedly suffered a stroke which affected his speech and movement, but, Brian being Brian he didn’t let that stop him. He stayed positive, worked hard and it wasn’t long before he was back out on the ice and hitting balls on the greens! Brian keeps very busy with his life- working, being an ambassador for the Flyers, raising lots of money for different charities by running events and participating in them. Also, working together with Vivonte Cigars they developed a “Guffaw” inspired cigars- Brian’s new passion which are available on his website- www.brianpropp.com. Corey and I were new to the podcast hosting scene when we had Brian on, he was kind enough to join us on the show when we still had no idea what we were doing- haha. We hope you enjoy the episode!

It was our pleasure to welcome to our podcast Ron Duguay- a hockey icon that played most of his career for the New York Rangers. Ron has always lived his life to the fullest and a bit outside of the box. Yet, he never ages as a result of making taking care of his physical and mental health a priority. Philadelphia fans didn’t treat him very well, (any whistlers out there?!) but that didn’t stop him from the classy move of not scoring on my dad (Bernie) during the Alumni Winter Classic game in Philadelphia allowing my dad the moment that he deserved. Hear Ron’s side of that story- no matter how you felt about him in the past it’s hard not to love him after hearing it. It actually made me tear up a bit...😊 Enjoy!

In the meantime we hope you enjoy our conversation with him! PS- Blake’s talent reaches far beyond writing he is also a talented musician and wrote the song about his parents introducing this episode called, “When Mom and Dad Were Young”.
