The Flyers snagged Lou Angotti from the Chicago Black Hawks (as they were then known) with the 33rd overall pick in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. He then served as captain during the Flyers’ inaugural season. Unlike other teams that struggled in their early years, the Flyers entered the NHL guns blazing. They won the West Division that season befor...
Like Angotti, Ed Van Impe was also claimed from the Black Hawks in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. Somewhat foolishly, they decided to leave him unprotected despite that he was coming off a strong rookie season when he finished second in Calder Trophy voting behind Bobby Orr.

It’s no surprise that Mr Flyer was a team captain. What is surprising is that he gave up his captaincy, but we will get to that. Bobby Clarke’sgreatness cannot be overstated. During his 15-year career, all spent in Philadelphia, Clarke lit up the stat sheet. He still holds several Flyers records, including games played, assists and points. Clarke w...
The Flyers selected Mel Bridgman first overall in the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft. Never a prolific scorer, Bridgman was a consistent offensive contributor and a smart defensive center. During his seven years in Philadelphia, he averaged close to 20 goals and 30 assists per season. Bridgman was named captain in 1979 after Clarke became a player-coach. H...
The Flyers’ all-time leading goal-scorer, Bill Barber captained the team in the 1981-82 season and in part of the 1982-83 season. He was drafted seventh overall by the Flyers in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft and played his full 12-year career in Philadelphia. Though he was the Flyers’ top goal-scorer for many years, he didn’t earn the captaincy until ...
Replacing Barber and Clarke as captain is no easy task, but Dave Poulin did a fine job. During the five and a half seasons that Poulin was captain, the Flyers consistently made the playoffs and even went to two Stanley Cup Finals (both losses to the Edmonton Oilers). Poulin was a star for Notre Dame and averaged nearly a point and a half per game d...
One of six brothers to play in the NHL, Ron Sutter was drafted fourth overall by the Flyers in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft. His twin brother, Rich, was selected tenth overall by the Penguins in the same draft. It only took a year for Rich to be traded to Philadelphia. United with his brother, Ron put up three of the best seasons of his career. Once Ri...
Despite being a sixth-round pick by the Flyers in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, Rick Tocchetput together an impressive NHL career. He played the first seven and a half years of his career in Philadelphia and quickly became one of the team’s best players. During the 1989-90 season, he nearly broke the 100-point mark with 37 goals and 59 assists. After a...
After the Flyers went a season without a captain, Kevin Dineen was given the “C” for the 1993-94 season. He spent the first seven and a half seasons of his career with the Hartford Whalers before being traded to the Flyers during the 1991-92 season where he paid instant dividends, recording 56 points in the remaining 64 games that season. After a s...
After three captains in three consecutive seasons, Eric Lindrosfinally brought some stability to the position and served as the Flyers’ captain for nearly six seasons. He was drafted first overall in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the Nordiques but refused to play for them and was eventually traded to the Flyers for a package that included Peter Forsb...

Feb 15, 2024 · Eric Desjardins (1999-2001) The Flyers handed the “C” to Eric Desjardins in response to the Lindros saga. He had previously spent time as an alternate captain with Rod Brind’Amour. The puck-moving defenseman was the rock of the Philadelphia blue line during the memorable era of contention in the 1990s and early 2000s.
