SENT: 10-28-14
RECEIVED: 10-31-14
 
A 3 DAY TURNAROUND! I love when that happens. Yesterday I received two cards signed by former Flyers great, Rick MacLeish. Mr. MacLeish generously signed both my cards in BLUE Sharpie. In the 1972-73 Season, MacLeish, became the first member of the Flyers to ever score fifty goals in a single season, and the eighth player in NHL history. In the 1973-74 Stanley Cup Playoffs, MacLeish scored the only goal in the series' sixth and final game against the Boston Bruins.

Flyers Halloween 5K

Flyers Halloween 5K.
 
 
On October 25, The Philadelphia Flyers held their annual Halloween charity 5K. Some of the runners, included Hockey Hall Of  Famer, Bernie Parent. Mr. Parent ran the whole 5K despite being 69 years of age. Another runner included Todd Fedoruk. Mr. Fedoruk also ran the entire race. Bob "The Hound" Kelly also made an appearance although he didn't run. After the race all three former Flyers hung out for a bit. I managed to get them all to sign a card,  and take a photo with me.

Fedoruk: 05-06 UPPER DECK Signed in BLUE Sharpie
