Flyers announce roster for alumni game vs. Penguins

Hockey Hall of Fame members Bobby Clarke, Bill Barber and Mark Howe, as well as 2016 electee Eric Lindros, will be among the Philadelphia Flyers alumni skating against Pittsburgh Penguins alums at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Jan. 14, 2017.
The alumni game will be played as part of the 50th anniversary season for each team.
"This game is a celebration of the past 50 years of Flyers hockey," said Brad Marsh, president of the Flyers Alumni Association. "To bring five decades' worth of players and fans together to share in the one thing we all have in common, fiercely representing the orange and black, that's not something that happens every day."

Representing the 1980s will be forwards Tim Kerr, Dave Poulin, Brian Propp and Murray Craven, and defensemen Howe, Marsh and Kjell Samuelsson. From the 1990s will be Lindros, who will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Nov. 14, forward John Leclair and defensemen Luke Richardson and Terry Carkner.
From the 2000s will be forwards Daniel Briere and Simon Gagne, defenseman Eric Desjardins, and goaltender Brian Boucher.
Full rosters for each alumni team will be released at a later date.
