The Philadelphia Flyers organization is being sued by two long-time athletic trainers who say that they were exposed to cancer-causing chemicals throughout their tenure with the team.
According to Anthony SanFilippo of Crossing Broad, Jim McCrossin, 64, and Sal Raffa, 42, worked at the team's training facility in Voorhees, New Jersey, for the past 22 and 18 years, respectively.
SanFilippo noted that the pair filed the suit "after receiving similar medical diagnoses that they allege came from a work environment in which they were unknowingly exposed to cancer-causing carcinogens" emitted from Zambonis.
The Flyers released a statement, saying in part that the organization looked into the claims by McCrossin and Raffa and believe they "have no merit":
