In his introductory press conference, new Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar talked about the reasons he came to Philadelphia. Among the reasons, is the opportunity he'll have to start here. But that's not all.
He also talked to a bunch of former Flyers' alumni about playing in Philadelphia. Among those players are: Jakub Voracek, Jaromir Jagr, Radko Gudas, Michal Neuvirth and Petr Mrazek. One thing they have in common? They are all Czech.
In their history, the Flyers have had 26 forwards and three (now four) goaltenders who came from Czechia. That makes Czechs among the most non-Canadian and non-American ethnicities to play for the Flyers.
