Kimelman is a quality writer and you can not beat the book's price. This is definitely a book worth considering for the Flyers fans on your Christmas list.

Here's more from the publisher, Triumph Books:

Most Flyers fans can sing "God Bless America" along with Kate Smith and know who the Broad Street Bullies were. Names like Bob Clarke, Dave Schultz, Eric Lindros, Bernie Parent, and Ron Hextall are just as familiar as Keith Allen, Bud Poile, Paul Holmgren, and Gene Hart. But even the most die-hard fans don't know everything they should about their Flyers.

100 Things Flyers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die by Adam Kimelman reveals the most critical moments and important facts about past and present players, coaches, and teams that are part of the storied history that is Flyers hockey. Scattered throughout the pages, you'll find traditions, records, and Flyers lore to test your knowledge, including:
  • Who set the NHL record for most points by a player in his first game?
  • Who were the regulars at Rexy's?
  • What is the Blackshirt Plague?
  • Who named the Legion of Doom?
  • What happened on Black Sunday?
Whether you're a die-hard fan from the days of Fred Shero or a supporter of current head coach Peter Laviolette, this book contains all the things Flyers fans should actually see and do before they arrive at The Spectrum in the sky.

If you bleed orange and black, then 100 Things Flyers Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die is for you.
