AYHL Top Team : Philadelphia Little Flyers
Coach Dave Doorman’s group has been playing at high levels since the new year going 5-0 in AYHL play and 4-0 in NAPHL play. In that stretch they have beaten the Junior Flyers, North Jersey Avalanche and Esmark, all teams that are high in ranking and should see post season play as well. They are a hard nose team that can come at their opponents in waves and their line up provides a lot of depth making them a hard out on any given night. More impressively the Little Flyers have done a great job with promotion as 04’s Chase Hannon (Aberdeen), Hunter Hayes (Chippewa) and Sam Phillips (New Mexico) have all been tendered in the NAHL already for next year.
