Quick Hits: April 23, 2023
1) In the weeks to come, there will be several events organized be or otherwise involving the Flyers Alumni Association. With the Flyers and Phantoms' seasons finished, today is a good day to talk about the upcoming events and what they support. Over the next couple weeks, I'll have some analysis of the 2022-23 Flyers season. I'll start focusing more coverage on the NHL Entry Draft after the lottery on May 8.
* SNIDER HOCKEY CELEBRITY BARTENDER EVENT
On May 2, 2023, the annual Celebrity Bartender event at the Great American Pub in Wayne, PA, will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. EDT. The event is organized by Snider Hockey and jointly promoted by the Flyers Alumni Association. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit directly benefit under-resourced youth enrolled in Snider's education, hockey, life skills and scholarship programs.
