Mark Recchi to be inducted into Philadelphia Flyers Hall of Fame

Philadelphia Flyers legend Mark Recchi will be inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame during a pregame ceremony on January 27 at the Wells Fargo Center against the Boston Bruins.

Recchi will become the 28th honored member of the Flyers Hall of Fame.

The Kamloops, British Columbia product spent a total of 10 years with the Flyers throughout his 22-year illustrious career. He joined the Flyers organization in 1991-92, appearing in 22 games following a trade from the Pittsburgh Penguins. Recchi tallied 123 points during the 1992-93 season to break Bobby Clarke’s franchise record for most points in a season, a record that still holds up today. After three years in Philly, Recchi was moved to Montreal, where he would spend four years with the Canadiens before returning to Philly in 1999.

“This is a tremendous honor and one I was not expecting to get the call for,” said Recchi. “My time in Philadelphia meant a lot, still means a lot, to me, and I am very thankful to be the next inductee into the Flyers Hall of Fame. Thank you to Dan, Keith and the nomination and voting committees for this opportunity. I look forward to sharing this memory with my family, the fans, fellow Flyers Alumni and the entire Flyers organization.”

“The Flyers Hall of Fame began with Ed Snider and our Flyers Alumni and has become so enriched to our organization that I am thrilled to see it grow with the induction of Mark Recchi,” said Dan Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor and Governor of the Philadelphia Flyers. “Mark’s 10 seasons with the Flyers were very special to our franchise and to the Flyers community as he was a part of so many iconic historic moments. We are all looking forward to January 27, when we can solidify Mark in our proud history.”

Upon his second run with the Flyers, Recchi continued to be a threat on the ice and led the NHL in assists during the 1999-2000 season with 63 assists and 91 points in 82 games. Overall, Recchi appeared in 602 regular season contests with the Flyers and registered 232 goals and 395 assists for 627 points. Recchi ranks ninth among Flyer’s all-time point leaders.

Recchi recorded 1,533 career points in 1,652 NHL regular season games with the Flyers, Penguins, Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Tampa Bay Lightning and Bruins. He captured three Stanley Cups as a player with the Penguins, Hurricanes and Bruins. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017.

The Flyers Hall of Fame selection process consists of a nomination committee and a voting committee. Each committee is comprised of current Flyers Hall of Fame members, Flyers alumni, members of the Flyers front office, broadcasters and members of the Philadelphia chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association (PHWA).
