Flyers Inflatable
The Flyers have an interactive inflatable game
that travels to various events to help bring hockey
awareness to communities throughout the Delaware
Valley. The Flyers inflatable game is a 16’ x 16’ x 8’
slap shot cage that allows fans to take their best shot
at beating a stationary goalie. The Flyers inflatable is
perfect for any event, large or small.
For more information, or to book an inflatable
appearance, please call us at: (215) 952-5763.
Hooked on Hockey
Hooked on Hockey is a fun program that seeks
to create hockey awareness among children
throughout the Delaware Valley. During each
Hooked on Hockey clinic, Flyers staff members teach
kids basic hockey skills in an enjoyable environment.
This summer program introduces children to street
hockey while providing them with the fundamentals
that will translate to hockey at any level. Each
Hooked on Hockey event includes an introduction of
basic hockey fundamentals such as stick handling,
passing, and shooting through scrimmages, skill
competitions, and other fun activities. Flyers
Ambassador of Hockey, Bob “The Hound” Kelly, and
members of the CR Staff host the event and interact
with participants throughout the session. In support of this grassroots initiative, the Flyers will contribute
Mylec hockey sticks to all participants in an effort to keep children “hooked on hockey.” The Flyers visited
35 locations and got over 4,000 kids “hooked on hockey” during 2011-2012.
For additional information, or to book a Hooked on Hockey event for 2012-2013, please call us at
(215) 952-5763 or email us at: JTempesta@comcast-spectacor.com.
Flyers School Assembly Program
The Flyers School Assembly Program was designed to teach
children in grades 1-6 the importance of using teamwork to
achieve their goals in school, sports, and at home. Flyers
Ambassador of Hockey, Bob “The Hound” Kelly, along with
members of the CR staff educate students on the meaning
of teamwork and why working together can be so important.
Kelly also discusses his playing career with the Philadelphia
Flyers and the need for safety while playing sports. The
program uses creative videos, interactive games and presentations to keep children involved and enthused.
All students in attendance receive special Flyers giveaways as well as an interactive Flyers activity book.
Over the course of the 2011-12 school year, the Flyers School Assembly Program visited 70 schools and
reached over 22,000 students throughout the Greater Philadelphia region.
