It always brings a smile to my face when I hear an NHL legend describe how they feel towards a team that they love and played for throughout their career. Every time they put on the jersey and skate out onto their home ice you could see that they truly love being where they are and the fans embrace them.
This is the case for Flyers legend Mark Recchi. Recchi, had a fantastic career as it began in 1988 when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the fourth round, 67th overall. As his career spanned from 1988 through 2011, he worked for seven NHL organizations and put his effort 100% of the time no matter where he was.
However, his true love was in Philadelphia and with the Flyers.

The Flyers organization will return that love as they will grant Recchi the honor of being in the Flyers Hall of Fame on January 27th.
The right winger was a point machine and after playing 1652 games, he scored 577 goals with 956 assists for 1533 points. Many of his best years were with the Flyers which gave the home crowd plenty to cheer for.
The ceremony will be held on January 27th when the Flyers will meet against the Boston Bruins. Game time will be held at 12:30 PM eastern.
