Who was the Flyers' "Fight Night Champ" last year?

When it comes to Philadelphia, the ability to fight is almost as important as the ability to be good at the sport you play. This goes double for the Flyers, who ran roughshod over the league in the '70s, winning two consecutive Stanley Cups, and making it to a third by filling 'em up and filling 'em in.

The team still takes it seriously, to the extent that they've brought in MMA fighters to help sharpen the team's skills. BKFC fighter Johnny Garbarino and UFC fighter Andre Petroski have already been training with the players ahead of the season.
