The Eastern Conference Champion Philadelphia Flyers will once again play a preseason game in their "home away from home," the John Labatt Centre, on Thursday, September 23, when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs at 7 p.m. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, June 4 at 10 a.m.
The Flyers, who will be making their seventh consecutive preseason appearance at the John Labatt Centre, and their second consecutive preseason game against the Leafs, will face the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Final, beginning on Saturday, May 29 at 8 p.m. from Chicago, IL.
"It's always exciting to have the Flyers play here in London, but this year will be even more special for us here in London as the Flyers are competing for the Stanley Cup," said Global Spectrum's Brian Ohl, Regional Vice President and General Manager of the John Labatt Centre.
"For the past six seasons, the Flyers have considered the John Labatt Centre our 'home away from home,'" said Comcast-Spectacor President and Global Spectrum Chairman Peter Luukko. "The John Labatt Centre is a terrific hockey building and all of our players enjoy visiting every preseason. A match-up with the Leafs in London is a dream match-up for hockey fans in Western Ontario. It's going to be a terrific night of hockey and a very memorable one for the City of London."
“There’s no better way to launch a new hockey season at the JLC than to have the Philadelphia Flyers back on our home ice facing off against the Maple Leafs,” says Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco-Best. “London loves hockey and our enthusiastic fans will show both teams great support for this fun event.”
In previous visits to London, the Flyers have faced the Washington Capitals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Atlanta Thrashers, the New York Islanders, and the Ottawa Senators.
