What makes the Stadium Series that much more fun is how it brings the families and alumni together for the weekend.
The Flyers' alumni showdown for this year's event should be plenty of fun.
On Wednesday, the roster was announced for the game, which will be held Friday at 7 p.m. on Penn's campus at the Class of '23 Arena.
Many fan favorites will suit up, including Scott Hartnell, who has been a busy man since retiring in October. Hartnell was honored by the Flyers in December and was officially named an on-air analyst Wednesday for the NHL Network.
Here are the former Flyers that will play Friday against alumni from the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation.
