We’re back with part seven of our series, looking at some of the most forgettable jersey numbers in Philadelphia Flyers history. While there are notable players that follow, there are many that are more forgettable. So, without further ado, let’s dive into part seven of the Philadelphia Flyers jersey numbers series! As a note, in today’s list, some numbers didn’t have a player representative, such as 63, 67, and 69. However, as you’ll agree when we get to him, one player alone almost makes the list worthwhile.
The best of the Philadelphia Flyers with jersey numbers 51 to 60
61. Justin Brown
Braun came to Philly for the 2019-2020 season and stayed with the club until he was traded at the end of the next season. He was traded to the Rangers, where he played only eight regular season games and a few postseason games. In addition, Braun returned to the Flyers last season and brought his veteran presence back to the lineup. Braun doesn’t do much to fill the scoring chart, but his work in shorthanded play and ability to block shots earn him a spot on the roster.
62. Nicolas Aubé-Kubel
Aubé-Kubel gets the spot on this list because he was the Flyer who wore that number the longest. He was a member of the team that finished second in the Metropolitan Division when the NHL shortened the 2019-20 Covid-19 season. In four seasons with the Flyers, NAK appeared in 104 games in which he scored just 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists). While that output isn’t much, it’s by far the best of any player who has worn that number.
64. Maxim Sushko
Sushko only appeared in two games with the Flyers and is the only player to wear that number on his back as a Flyer. He scored no points in those two games and had a minus-one rating.
65. Nate Guenin
Kyle Greentree and Guenin competed for this spot on the list. Guenin gets the nod because he played 10 more games than Greentree. Guenin had two assists in his 12 games with the club, while Greentree had none.
66. Yanick Dupre
Dupré appeared in one game as a Flyer wearing number 66 and spent most of his career in the AHL. His career and life ended abruptly after he lost his battle with cancer. The AHL honored him with the Yanick Dupré Memorial Award, which is given to the player who has made the most contributions to the community during the year. The Flyers also have an award named after him, given to the team’s best player of the season.
The Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest star with jersey numbers in the 60s and number 68. Jaromir Jagr
One of the best players to ever play in the NHL finds himself on this list after just one season in Philly. Jagr was a key part of the Flyers’ 2011-12 season. He put in a lot of work, and his influence on the other players on the team was clear as well. Jagr played 73 games for the Flyers, scoring 54 points (19 goals, 35 assists). In addition, Jagr played alongside Flyers star Claude Giroux and helped him shine. Giroux reached his career highs in goals, assists and total points at that point. Giroux had 93 points (28 goals, 65 assists) that season.
70. Danick Martel
Martel was in top form in the minors, which led to his call-up to the big club. Martel scored 14 goals in 14 games in the AHL, but was unable to find his scoring instinct in the exhibition, going pointless in his four games with the Flyers. Martel was eventually signed by the Lightning after being placed on waivers by the Flyers.
