Flyers Alumni to Celebrate Friday Night Fights

The Flyers Alumni will host their annual Friday Night Fights on Friday, March 6, at 2100 Arena in South Philadelphia. This annual dinner event and speaker series celebrates old-time hockey with Flyers "tough guys and some of their top rivals from their playing days," according to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Past speaker events have featured individuals such as Dave "The Hammer" Schultz and Bruins legend Terry O'Reilly, Dave Brown paired with Stu Grimson, a reunion of "Bruise Brothers" Brown with friend and teammate Daryl Stanley, 2000s tough guys Todd Fedoruk and Brian McGrattan, and others.

Behn Wilson and Willi Plett will headline this year's speakers. Wilson returns to Philadelphia and will select Plett as his fellow speaker for the segment.

Two legendary enforcers, Donald Brashear and Georges Laraque, will share a segment reflecting their famous early-2000s on-ice battles. Joe Watson will describe the origins of the Broad Street Bullies alongside the Plager brothers, Noel Picard, and the St. Louis Blues.

According to the Flyers' news release, the event will be hosted by emcees Liam Maguire, Bill Clement, and Steve Coates. It will feature an open-bar cocktail hour, hors d'oeuvres, a dinner buffet, and a dessert table, presented in collaboration with Bacio Kitchen & Catering of Palmyra, New Jersey.

Limited tickets remain available. For general information on the event, visit the Flyers Alumni website. Tickets for the event are available for purchase online.
