Flyers Promotional Schedule Includes Gritty Chia Pet Giveaway
Flyers hockey is back in 24 days, and I better see some jam in the building this season, because that place was dead last year.
The home opener is October 9th, five days after the Prague game, and all fans in attendance will get a free t-shirt upon entry. Then the Flyers will proceed to beat the ever-living crap out of Kyle Palmieri and the New Jersey Devils.
