Flyers Bring Back Ice Girls After Booing

A week ago, the Flyers' ice crew hit the ice without their signature team of scantily-clad women, but fear not fans, they will return -- all it took was loud boos from a very vocal Philadelphia crowd.

The team announced their decision to bring back the Ice Girls on the jumbotron during Tuesday night's last preseason game against the New York Rangers, about a week after the debut of an all-male ice crew. A crew that was met with boos. Loud boos.

Then, the organization posted the announcement on their facebook page.

 
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

The even better news? Tryouts for the 2014-2015 team are this Sunday, October 5 at noon at the Flyers Skate Zone in Voorhees, NJ.

It's unclear what prompted the Flyers to cut the Ice Girls in the first place, although many believe an article on Mother Jones dissing pay and conditions, may have been behind the decision.
