Flyers offseason: Danny Brière’s trades and the hype surrounding Matvei Michkov among the 4 big questions
“People have rallied around the idea [that] there’s much more that can be done, even if we’re not going to have the jerseys on the ice,” Palumbo said. “A lot of great programming that teams have done outside of the jerseys will continue.” One of the children who attended that event now aspires to be a hockey player, according to Galaei’s executive director, Tyrell Brown.
While van Riemsdyk is no longer a Flyer, the team expects Laughton will continue to serve as a team ambassador to the LGBTQ community, though they do not know which other players might get involved. The Flyers plan to host another Pride Night next season, though they have not yet finalized a date or other specific plans. For last year’s event, the Flyers distributed tickets for at least nine local LGBTQ organizations to attend. Those who were there to watchsaid there was much more to the experience than just seeing the players wearing the since-banned warm-up jerseys.
