Last night, the Philadelphia Flyers inducted Eric Desjardins into the franchise’s Hall of Fame.
The former NHL Defenceman spent his first six seasons and change with the Montreal Canadians, and was a very big part of their 1993 Stanley Cup Championship, scoring 14 points in the playoffs, scoring all three Montreal Goals in a win over the Los Angeles Kings that turned the tide of the series once and for all towards the Habs.
Desjardin would be traded to the Philadelphia Flyers where he would enjoy his best regular season totals. He was a great fit for the Flyers style and he emerged as a top flight defenseman earning Second Team All Star honors twice in 1999 and 2000 and win the Flyers Barry Ashbee Award as the team’s top blueliner seven times.
He would finish his career in 2007, and would finish second overall in Points for a Defenceman as a Philadelphia Flyer with 396. Eric Desjardin becomes the 24th member of the Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame.
