The Flyers won the West Division, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the St. Louis Blues in seven games. NHL expansion 1967 NHL expansion Philadelphia waited almost 35 years from when the Quakers' played their last home game (a 4–0 loss to Chicago on March 17, 1931) for the NHL to return when the city was awarded an expansion franchise on February 9, 1966. Philadelphia was a bit of a surprise choice since a group from the nearby city of Baltimore were considered favorites to land a team.http://www.flyershistory.net/cgi-bin/hm.cgi?014hm Philadelphia Gets NHL Expansion Team November 2, 2013 Flyers History P. Anson The man who often receives the most credit for bringing NHL hockey back to Philadelphia is Ed Snider. While attending a basketball game in 1964 at the Boston Garden, the then vice-president of the Philadelphia Eagles observed a crowd of Boston Bruins fans lining up to purchase tickets to see a last-place team.http://flyershistory.net/cgi-bin/hofprof.cgi?005 Ed Snider's Flyers Hall of Fame Profile November 2, 2013 Flyers History P. Anson Intrigued, he began making plans for a new arena upon hearing the NHL was looking to expand due to fears of a competing league taking hold on the West Coast and the desire for a new television contract in the United States. Snider made his proposal to the league and the Philadelphia group – including Snider, Bill Putnam, Jerome Schiff, and Eagles owner Jerry Wolman – was chosen over the Baltimore group. On April 4, 1966, Putnam announced there would be a name-the-team contest and that orange, black and white would be the team colors.http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/jerseyhistory.cgi Flyers History – Flyers Jersey History Gallery 2008-09-09 FlyersHistory.net https://web.archive.org/web/20080913170259/http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/jerseyhistory.cgi 13 September 2008 live Wanting what he referred to as "hot" colors, Putnam's choice was influenced by the orange and white of his alma mater, the University of Texas, and the orange and black of Philadelphia's previous NHL team, the Quakers. Also announced on April 4 was the hiring of a Chicago firm to design the team's arena. Details of the name-the-team contest were released on July 12, 1966. As sponsor of the contest, ballots were available at local Acme Markets grocery stores and included a top prize of a RCA 21" color television, two season tickets for both the second and third prize winners, and a pair of tickets to a game for the next 100 winners. Among the names considered behind the scenes were Quakers, Ramblers, and Liberty Bells. The first two were the names of previous Philadelphia hockey teams and given the connotations of losing (Quakers) and the minor leagues (Ramblers), were passed over. Liberty Bells, though seriously considered, was also the name of a local race track. Bashers, Blizzards, Bruisers, Huskies, Keystones, Knights, Lancers, Raiders, and Sabres were among the other names considered. thumb|right|The flying P has been the Flyers' primary logo since the beginning.It was Ed Snider's sister Phyllis who ended up naming the team when she suggested Flyers on a return trip from a Broadway play. Ed knew immediately it would be the winning name, since it captured the speed of the game and went well phonetically with Philadelphia. On August 3, 1966, the team name was announced. Of the 11,000 ballots received, more than 100 selected Flyers as the team name and were entered into a drawing to select a winner. 9-year-old boy Alec Stockard from Narberth, who had spelled it "Fliers" on his entry, won the drawing and was declared the winner. With the name and colors already known, Philadelphia advertising firm Mel Richmann Inc. was hired to design a logo and jersey. With Tom Paul as head of the project, artist Sam Ciccone designed both the logo and jerseys with the concept to represent speed. Ciccone's winged P design, four stylized wings attached to a slanted P with an orange dot to represent a puck, was considered the "obvious choice" over his other designs which included a winged skate. Ciccone's jersey design, a stripe down each shoulder and down the arms, represented wings. Off-season The men hired to build the expansion Flyers were Bud Poile as general manager and Keith Allen as head coach.Bud Poile Joins Philadelphia https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/62649992/ Santa Cruz Sentinel May 31, 1966 9 Newspapers.com December 20, 2014 Allen To Coach Philadelphia Club https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/67075572/ Brandon Sun June 7, 1966 6 Newspapers.com December 20, 2014 Both were former NHL players and were Western Hockey League coaches in the years preceding expansion, Poile with the San Francisco Seals and Allen with the Seattle Totems.

The March 7 game against Boston, relocated to Toronto, featured a bloody stick-swinging duel between the Flyers' Larry Zeidel and the Bruins' Eddie Shack, resulting in suspensions for both players.ZEIDEL AND SHACK DRAW SUSPENSIONS https://www.nytimes.com/1968/03/10/archives/zeidel-and-shack-draw-suspensions.html The New York Times May 11, 2025 March 10, 1968 The team was led offensively by Leon Rochefort in goals (21) and Lou Angotti in assists (37) and points (49). Bill Sutherland was the only other player on the team with at least 20 goals and Gary Dornhoefer was the only other player with at least 30 assists. Rochefort was the only Flyer to take part in the NHL All-Star Game. Despite the lack of offensive firepower, the Flyers were strong enough defensively to be a respectable 8–15–1 against Original Six teams, winning at least one game against all six and winning three of their four games against the defending Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs. 22-year-old goaltenders Doug Favell and Bernie Parent split time in net and put up similar numbers. Favell finished third in Calder Memorial Trophy voting.http://www.flyershistory.net/cgi-bin/awardvotes.cgi NHL Award Votes November 2, 2013 Flyers History P.
