Face of the franchise

Flyers fans came from far and wide for a chance to finally meet Russian phenom Matvei Michkov this past weekend at the Oxford Valley Mall in Langhorne. Michkov is widely regarded as one of the top five prospects in hockey.

Worth the wait

Fans lined up Saturday at the Dynasty store in the Oxford Valley Mall to meet and have items signed by Michkov. The team's top prospect, who wasn't supposed to join the Flyers for two more seasons, signed with the team in July.

More than a puck

If Michkov pans out like the Flyers hope he will, a signed puck by him could be worth much more than the $119 advertised on Dynasty's website.

End of an era?

Flyers fans hope Michkov's arrival will soon signal the end of the organization's 50-year Stanley Cup drought. Michkov will be on the ice in Voorhees this week for rookie camp.
