Book excerpt: Full Spectrum covers the Philadelphia Flyers like no other sports franchise has ever been covered before. The Flyers are a unique hockey organization in a special sports town and Full Spectrum gives you the whole story: on the ice, in the dressing room, and behind the scenes. From the campaign to gain an NHL franchise in 1965, through the building of a hard-hitting Stanley Cup championship roster that performed at its best after Kate Smith's thundering rendition of "God Bless America"; from the tragic loss of goaltending great Pelle Lindbergh to the controversy-strewn signing of mega-star Eric Lindros; from the Leach-Barber-Clarke line to the Legion of Doom, Full Spectrum sets new standards for contemporary sports history.

Book excerpt: Stretching back to the team's birth in the National Hockey League expansion of 1967, this record follows the Philadelphia Flyers' story, starting with the rabid fan base they built during their "Broad Street Bullies" era of the 1970s. The hard-charging Bullies' back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in 1974 and 1975 are documented, and the team's status as a perennial contender is illustrated through their 34 playoff appearances. Penned by charismatic superstar and team manager Bobby Clarke's own daughter Jakki, this account reflects the personal relationships the author established with many of the team's best skaters. Drawn from up-close interviews with more than 30 of the Flyers' greats regarding their lives, playing careers, challenges, and successes, this compilation is a must-have keepsake that all Philadelphia hockey fans are sure to cherish. Players from all eras are represented--including Billy Barber, Bernie Parent, Mark Howe, Keith Primeau, and more--sharing never-before-told stories about learning to skate, playing pranks in the locker room, enjoying the fruits of victory, and overcoming crushing defeat. Containing valuable advice for both athletes and parents, this is an intimate look at a group of men who have experienced the ups and downs of a demanding sport at all levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Philadelphia Flyers joined the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1967, along with five other teams, to double the league from six to twelve teams. They have enjoyed a lot of success since, including being the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup. They won back-to-back cups in 1973–1974 and 1974–1975 and would qualify for the Stanley Cup Final six more times. The Flyboys have left their mark on the NHL through their physicality, which helped them garner the nickname “Broad Street Bullies.” This book is a pictorial history of the Flyers that examines their modern history and looks back at their legend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monumental book about the Philadelphia Flyers not only documents all the best moments and personalities in the history of the team, but also unmasks the regrettably awful and the unflinchingly ugly. In entertaining—and unsparing—fashion, this book sparkles with Flyers highlights and lowlights, from wonderful and wacky memories to the famous and infamous. Such moments include the era of the “Broad Street Bullies” as well as the playoff drought in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Learn how visionary founding owner Ed Snider created the Flyers and sold the city of Philadelphia on the sport of hockey. Get the inside story of how the franchise built a championship squad, then repeatedly rebuilt it over the next three decades to stay at the top of the NHL—in the process compiling the league’s second-best all-time winning percentage. Enjoy classic tales about the great rivalries (especially with the Rangers, Devils, and Penguins), about the great coaches—including Fred Shero and Pat Quinn—and countless great players: Barber, Clarke, Parent, Poulin, Hextall, Primeau, and many more. Whether providing fond memories, goose bumps, or laughs, this portrait of the team and its history is sure to appeal to the fan who has been through it all. This updated edition takes readers through the 2012–13 season and features the Flyers’ trip to the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals as well as recent stars Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell, Kimmo Timonen, and more.

Book excerpt: "RUNNING AN ARENA WAS NO GAME I had many ideas on making the Philadelphia Flyers and the Spectrum zing, some solid- some zany. Ed Snider pretty much let me call the shots, as long as I ran the more risky or costly ones by him. If I couldnt convince him, Id try to tamper them down from Just Plain Wild to Lets Hope We Dont Get Arrested. I was a riverboat gambler, Ed was a card counter. I doubled down, he cut the odds. I was a swaggering Sagittarian. He was the cautious Capricorn. I dubbed us Flash & Cash. Between us, we went to work selling hockey, Philly Style. Blades, Bands, and Ballers is Lou Scheinfelds inside story of running the Spectrum with Ed Snider. Stories include the Jerry Wolman blood feud, Sinatra and The Philly Mob, making the Broad Street Bullies, Smokin Joe Fraziers snub, Elvis sad final stop, Dr. J. and the 76ers, the Electric Factorys impact, Rizzo and The Rolling Stones, the Kate Smith debacle and many more"--
