Black Bear Youth Hockey Foundation
The Philadelphia Flyers Elite has teamed up with The Black Bear Youth Hockey Foundation to help bring hockey to every kid looking to pick up a stick. Sadly, the financial commitment to a hockey program can place this great game out of reach for many kids. With your help we can ensure that every kid has the opportunity to lace up, and hit the ice.
