Friday night of All-Star weekend featured a trip back into history for the NHL. As part of the NHL's 100th anniversary celebration, the Top 100 players of all-time were announced in a special ceremony on Friday night in Los Angeles.
Three players who spent the majority of their career with the Flyers were named to the list.
Hockey Hall of Famers and Flyers legends Bobby Clarke, Bernie Parent and Eric Lindros were named to the NHL 100 list. Six other members of the list spent time during their careers with the Flyers: Darryl Sittler, Paul Coffey, Adam Oates, Peter Forsberg, Chris Pronger and Jaromir Jagr.
