June 3, 1966 (Reuters) - Needing to house his newly-won expansion franchise, Flyers owner Ed Snider buys and bulldozes St. Jude's Roman Catholic Church and the adjoining Sisters of Mercy Orphanage to build the Spectrum, the Flyers home from 1967 to 1994. The now homeless orphans are put to work laying the foundation for the new rink. Those that survive the harsh building conditions find employment afterwards as combatants in Snider's pit-fighting ring in the Spectrum basement.

The only thing worse than a Leafs fan is a Flyers fan.
I'm stuck in hogtown and 'brian burke coming to MLSE' gets more air time than the Habs playoff run.
Flyers jerseys are coming out of the woodwork in Toronto, and I wonder if unemployment is a prerequisite to being a Flyers fan?
Can't wait for Komisarek to nail Briere and Richards to the boards.
