NEWARK, Del. – For the second-straight year, the Philadelphia Flyers Caravan will make a stop at the University of Delaware, coming to Fred Rust Ice Arena on Friday, September 19 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Fans will have the opportunity to meet the inaugural UD ice hockey team as well as Flyers' alumni (including Riley Cote, Bernie Parent, and Jim Watson, among others), the Flyers ice team, and Gritty at the free community event.
At the caravan, fans can look forward to getting their hands on a lineup of exclusive Flyers-themed giveaways, including straw hats, canvas keychains, Gritty magnet bottle openers, and Gritty straw toppers.
