The
Philadelphia Little Flyers, proud member of the Atlantic Metropolitan
Hockey League and the Atlantic Youth Hockey League, are proud to
announce the addition of an 18U team to our program. The team will begin
competition in the 2014-15 season.
With
the addition of the 18U team, the Little Flyers will now ice teams from
the Squirt Minor Level all the way up to Junior A. “This is an
excellent step for our program” Said Director of Hockey Operations and
Junior A Head Coach Rocky Russo. “Mr. and Mrs. Giacobbo have invested in
the Little Flyer program for years in an attempt to give young men the
opportunity to play the great game of Ice Hockey. This is their way to
give players the opportunity to stay with the Little Flyer program for
their entire youth hockey careers.”
The
Little Flyer program is the oldest organization in the Metropolitan
Area, ranging all the way back to 1969. “I am proud of our organization
and the individuals that are a part of it.” Said John Giacobbo Sr. “Roe
and I wanted to be able to enable our young men to continue to play
hockey at a high level within the Little Flyer Organization. Adding an
18U team will allow us to offer a great competitive option for our young
men when it comes to midget hockey.” The Little Flyer program currently
operates two 16U teams, one at the National and one at the American
level. “This is a great step for us.” Said 16U National Head Coach John
Giacobbo Jr. “We have always wanted to offer this level of hockey to our
players, and with two 16U teams this season we will have a good pool of
players to choose from for our 18U team.”
