The first Flyers Cup tournament was played in 1980. It featured just four teams.

All games were played at the University of Pennsylvania’s Class of 1923 rink, which was less than a decade old at the time and was home to the university’s NCAA Division I hockey team.

 

Semifinals;

Archbishop Carroll def. Archbishop Ryan

Malvern Prep def. Germantown Academy in overtime

The winners advanced to a best-of-three final

Game 1 – Malvern 6, Carroll 5

Game 2 – Carroll 7, Malvern 3

Game 3 – Carroll 6, Malvern 2

Our thanks to Rob Bear of the Philadelphia Flyers for providing this information

 

MVP: Scott Chamness, Carroll (four hat tricks in four games)

“I’ve had the opportunity to coach a number of men now when then they were younger. Staying in touch with them over the years at alumni games and things like that is one of the most enjoyable pieces for me.”
