Flyers
Not much changed on Day 2 from Flyers training camp. In fact, the intensity only picked up. Another day of drills and battles commenced on Saturday with both groups remaining the same and the lines remaining the same.
Friday marked the official on-ice open of Flyers training camp, as 57 players started the journey to making the Flyers roster for the 2017-18 season. The players were split into two groups taking the ice at different times. Here are a few notes from the day’s happenings.
This week on the Flyerdelphia Podcast, we look back at Wednesday night’s Rookie Game between the Flyers and New York Islanders and the players that stood out and gear up for the start of training camp and the preseason this weekend.
The Flyers have returned forwards Morgan Frost, Isaac Ratcliffe, Matthew Strome and Maksim Sushko back to their junior teams, GM Ron Hextall announced. This brings the Flyers training camp roster down to 57 entering Friday’s sessions to open camp.
Ron Hextall sent a message, and the team’s veterans may want to pay attention.

There is a bit of added hype to rookie camp this season with a lot of new faces taking the ice for the first time in Flyers colors. A big reason for that hype is because of the offseason Ron Hextall had, leaving the door open for Flyers prospects to make the team.
The Flyers began their annual rookie showcase Monday as many of the team’s prospects took to the ice together. Many storylines are already unfolding as the first day wrapped up at Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, NJ.
