Phase 3 of the NHL’s return to play program is about to be underway at Skate Zone in Vorhees, and the Flyers effectively open training camp 2.0.
After seeing the large majority of the Flyers’ regular roster through photos on social media, we finally have an official look at the 30-skater list —one that included unlimited goalies.

For practice sessions, the Flyers will be split into two groups and practice separately to confided to phase 3 and COVID-19 related restrictions. Obviously the practices will be closed to the public, while a limited amount of media will be admitted in for practice each day and will have access to four players and Alain Vignuealt. Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher will speak to reporters today and could be available throughout the camp.
Also, most of the main NHL roster has been accounted for in photos/interviews from Voorhees by end of Phase 2, incl. Giroux, Voracek, Couturier, Laughton, Thompsom, Provorov, Niskanen, Sanheim, Myers, Hägg.

Presumably Fletcher would be the one to comment on any players that opt out of the restart program, though no Flyers of yet have exercised that option —and have until 5pm tonight to do so without penalty.
More to come as hockey finally feels like it’s actually back.
Go Flyers.
