Program Description
Join us for an unforgettable evening of celebration and inspiration at our annual Holiday Party. This festive gathering will feature Joe Watson, Philadelphia Flyers legend. Joe played on the two-time Stanley Cup champion team. Joe is the ultimate hockey lifer; he will share stories of his fourteen-year NHL playing career. In retirement, he couldn't leave the game alone-cementing his status as a Philly legend by serving as a top advertising executive in the Flyers front office for more than four decades, creating and running a thriving alumni program, and eventually being inducted into the team's Hall of Fame. Joe's newly published book, Thundermouth: Memoirs of a Broad Street Bully and NHL Lifer will be available and is the perfect gift for the hockey fanatic in your life.
In addition to our special guest, the evening will be filled with delicious food, drinks, and plenty of holiday cheer. Come connect with colleagues and friends as we reflect on the past year and look ahead to new beginnings.
Speaker
Joe Watson
Philadelphia Flyer & Author of Thundermouth: Memoirs of a Broad Street Bully and NHL Lifer
Joe Watson was one of the first hockey players drafted during the NHL expansion draft in 1967 for the newly created Philadelphia Flyers. Little did he know when he left the Boston Bruins that this unexpected career change would lead him to play on a two-time Stanley Cup champion team, eventually becoming known as the iconic Broad Street Bullies.
Joe soon earned the nickname “Thundermouth” by Flyers teammate Ed Van Impe, for his strong voice that carried from one end of the ice to the other. In 1972, Joe welcomed his younger brother Jim to the Flyers team, and the Watson brothers captivated fans with their signature defense skills. They went on to play together in both the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup Championships, winning two Stanley Cups.
