A member of the Philadelphia Flyers for their two Stanley Cup wins in the 1970s, Tom Bladon was known for his devastating slapshot and for becoming the first Defenseman to score eight points in a game, which he did in 1977 against the Cleveland Barons.  He would also set a record of +10 in that game, a record that has yet to be equaled.  As a Flyer, Bladon had 270 Points over his career with a very strong Plus/Minus of 186 and two All-Star Game appearances.

Spending all but 11 of his 764 NHL Games with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chris Therien had a very good career, utilizing his imposing 6'5”, 235 lb frame to push opposing attackers around and stifle offensive rushes.  He was not a scorer, but he was usually on the first line of the defensive corps for Philly, providing a balance on the ice that he did brilliantly.

Like so many good hockey players in the Mid-60’s, Gary Dornhoefer struggled to find a permanent spot in the National Hockey League.  The Right Wing played 62 Games for the Boston Bruins from the 1963-64 to 1965-66 season, but he was never called up in the season before the 1967 Expansion.

After three years with Columbus, Jakub Voracek was traded in a transaction that proved to be very beneficial to Eastern Pennsylvania.  The product of the Czech Republic has had two 80 Points seasons as a Flyers the first of which (2014-15) would see him be a First Team All-NHL Right Wing, where he was second in Assists and fifth in Points.
