Porter Martone eyeing NHL while learning from Wayne Simmonds

Philadelphia Flyers fans have been eager to get a glimpse at first-round draft selection Porter Martone at the club’s practice facility decked out in orange and black.

But it turns out there’s already evidence of him rocking Flyers gear at a team practice from a long, long time ago.

Martone revealed after Wednesday’s first on-ice session of development camp that he took a photo with Flyers great Wayne Simmonds after practice when he was a child.

Fittingly, Simmonds was on the ice to witness Martone’s first practice as a Flyer.

Talk about coming full circle.
