You hear that?
That’s the jersey presses around Philadelphia and South Jersey churning out a new batch of Flyers shirts.
Why?
Because Ivan Provorov, Travis Konecny and Nick Cousins have opted to switch uniform numbers.
Provorov will return to his junior number with No. 9, Cousins will return to his Lehigh Valley Phantoms roots with No 25 and Konecny will don No. 11 because, well, No. 17 belongs to Wayne Simmonds.
Let’s look at the last five players in Flyers history to wear those numbers:
No. 9
- Steve Downie (2014)
- Mike Knuble (2013)
- David Laliberte (2010)
- Stefan Ruzicka (2007)
- Scottie Upshall (2007-09)
No. 11
- Eric Wellwood (2013)
- Blair Betts (2010-11)
- Boyd Kane (2009)
- Ryan Potulny (2006-08)
- Jon Sim (2006)
No. 25
- Ryan White (2015-16)
- Max Talbot (2013-14)
- Matt Carle (2009-12)
- Patrick Thoresen (2008)
- Keith Primeau (2000-2006)
