Rick Tocchet Flyers Hall of Fame Speech

Listen in as Rick Tocchet discusses his time with the Flyers organization and what joining the Flyers Hall of Fame means to him.

I met Tocchet when I was 18. He was always my favorite player. So when he showed up to my work with Coach Speedy Morris, I was floored. Coolest dude ever.

Time to lead the Canucks to a Stanley Cup- bring it home

[@richardristich5282]

Rick Tocchet, as a player, was everything we in Philly want in a player. Ultimate team guy, competes with everything he's got, and will do whatever he needs to do to win. Like Wayne Simmonds, he's the kind of guy I love and I would love it if the Flyers had 20 guys like Tocchet.

[@boomer1049]

Don't put Tocchet and Simmonds in the same sentence! They were both hockey players and Flyers but that's about where it ends!

@@boomer1049 Guess you and I will just have to disagree on that.

@@boomer1049 Simmonds scored with a puck “deflecting” off his face and didn’t miss a beat. He may not have been as talented as Tocchet but he damn sure had as much heart.

[@boomer1049]

@@dftmmwgitd There's no hockey players that aren't back on the ice after a puck to the face unless they get pulled!

Congratz Rick,my Boy!

[@Mario-qk9gc]

Love this player. Thanks u! U exemplify the sacrifice it takes to win my favorite player ever.

That clip of Tocchet taking on Wendell Clark brings back memories of the Flyers in their glorious skilled and physical years. If I recall correctly, Clark had just laid a cheap shot on Mark Howe. Rick skated 3/4 length of the rink to stick up for his fallen teammate. Ultimate Flyer, imo.
