I promise once the Flyers’ season rolls around, these daily stories will be a more scheduled thing. I actually love writing these sorts of whip-around, quick-hitter stories because we can talk about all things hockey. However, between summer jobs and, honestly, not a whole lot going on with the Flyers or even elsewhere, they can get a little tricky.
Nonetheless, we’re doing one today!
So, let’s get into it.
Who wants to get bold? We did recently. Oh, and if you missed it, we broke down a few possibilities for the future of a young Flyer. Speaking of young Flyers, six of them are in Minneapolis right now. Find out why, and a whole lot more on the 7/29 edition of the PhHN Daily!

Philly Hockey Now: Who wants to get bold? Our latest story has us sharing three bold predictions for the Flyers this upcoming season. Could it be breakout seasons? A star improving greatly? It can get even bolder. Make sure to check it out.
World Juniors Showcase: The Flyers have six prospects in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for the World Juniors Summer Showcase. Representing the Flyers organization: Porter Martone (CAN), Jack Murthagh (USA), Shane Vansaghi (USA), Jack Berglund (SWE), Heikki Ruohonen (FIN), and Max Westgard (FIN).
Reports also say that Jett Luchanko (CAN) was invited to the showcase but declined the opportunity due to a groin injury.
Speaking of Luchanko, is he ready for the NHL? We discussed it in one of our most recent stories.
Also, just some housekeeping dates for those that love preseason hockey: the Flyers announced the rookie showcase series is returning to the PPL Center September 12th and 13th. Flyers and Rangers prospects will face off in an exhibition series before the preseason kicks off.
