Flyers detail Military Appreciation Game plans for Nov. 17
U.S. Army veterans Rico Roman and Clint Romesha will take part in the ceremonial puck drop before Philadelphia hosts Buffalo.
The Philadelphia Flyers will host hundreds of active-duty service members and veterans when they play the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The annual Military Appreciation Game, presented by Toyota, starts at 7 p.m. ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The first 10,000 fans will receive a camouflage hat.
Rico Roman, a U.S. Army veteran and three-time Paralympic gold medallist, will join Medal of Honor recipient and fellow Army veteran Clint Romesha for the ceremonial puck drop.
The Flyers and Toyota hosted nearly 30 active-duty service members for a skate with team alumni last week. The group will return on Tuesday to watch the Flyers’ morning skate and meet the team.
On Monday, the Flyers and Flyers Warriors will host a skate with the Challenged Athletes Foundation at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, N.J. Participants will skate with Roman, Flyers alumni, members of the Warriors and mascot Gritty.
Fans can bid on military-themed jerseys from Nov. 16 to 23 in an auction benefiting Flyers Charities.
