Jones, previously a broadcaster for outdoor games, is now the Flyers' president of hockey operations. His focus has shifted to ensuring fans have a great time.
Both Briere and Jones appreciate the grandeur of outdoor games but are now more involved in social interactions and assisting players with tickets and arrangements.
Balancing Act For The Philadelphia Flyers
While outdoor games are spectacular, both emphasize the need to balance the event's grandeur with on-ice performance. Winning remains crucial, especially if the team is in a playoff race.
"As a player, I was trying to soak it all in," he said. "I remember walking around on the outfield at Fenway and just trying to soak it all in. I had kids, family there. And I tried to do the same thing in the game in Philly. Those moments happen very seldom in your hockey career. So, I was trying to enjoy as much of it.
«I'm probably going to have kind of the same approach, but not as a player. So, I'm not sure where will I be hanging out, where am I going to be, I don't know where I'm going to be watching from. But I'm looking forward to it.
"Those games are so special. It's more than just a game, it's an event, and that's what I'm excited about."
For Flyers governor Dan Hilferty, attending an outdoor game in person for the first time is an exciting prospect. He shares the enthusiasm of Briere and Jones, recognizing the impact of outdoor games on fans and players.
In their new roles, Briere and Jones are ready to make the 2024 NHL Stadium Series a memorable experience for all involved. Click the photo in the tweet below to view prices or buy tickets for the outdoor game:
