‘He mauled me' — Flyers feel and see Sokolovskii's huge presence -
Oliver Bonk had a succinct explanation for what it’s like going up against the 6-foot-7, 240-pound Maksim Sokolovskii.“It’s terrible,” Bonk said.Despite both hailing from the London Knights program, Sokolovskii did not take it easy on Bonk at Flyers development camp. On one rep, Bonk felt the sheer size of Sokolovskii.“He mauled me in practice,” Bonk said last month with a laugh. “We were doing a little keep-away drill and I wasn’t ready for it. The first one, I just came up, I’m like, ‘OK, whatever, this is like a warmup drill.’ I go and he just mauls me, takes the puck away, he has the puck from me for like a minute [and] 30 [seconds].”Good luck getting it back.“I’m trying to chase this guy around, he’s just arms out, giant, I can’t do anything,” Bonk said. “I got ready the next one, I got back at him a little bit, protected the puck a lit

The lefty shot had eight points (two goals, six assists) and a plus-10 rating in 44 games this season. He had 23 shots and 49 penalty minutes.“We don’t expect him to be the next big point producer; I don’t think that would be fair to say he was drafted for that,” Flyers general manager Danny Briere said from the team’s draft headquarters at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “We see him as a big, physical force, a defenseman that’s going to be tough to face.”The Flyers drafted two London products in 2023 with Oliver Bonk (first-rounder) and Denver Barkey (third-rounder).

Next up on the summer edition of the Top 25 Under 25 is the Flyers’ newest first rounder, Maksim Sokolovskii. The hulking London Knight defender brings a throwback combination of size and strength to the back end, and despite the low point total, there’s reason to believe that his puck-moving skills could be taken to another level with a bit more development.

Maksim Sokolovskii would like everyone to know he’s very strong -
This offseason has been all about Philadelphia Flyers fans wanting to see workout videos from one particular player so that he can bounce back from a disappointing sophomore season. It’s all we really care about as we’re still over a month away from training camp opening up. But what about a different young player in the Flyers organization getting his offseason workouts on video and then shared to social media? The Flyers’ selection of 6-foot-8 defenseman Maksim Sokolovskii at 27th overall this year has been controversial, since he hasn’t really lit the world on fire yet and hasn’t shown a whole lot other than being able to hit guys

3 Flyers who should get more opportunity in the shootout -
If you were to look at the all-time shootout goal leader for the Flyers, it probably wouldn’t surprise you it’s Claude Giroux with 30. Next up is his longtime partner on the ice in Jakub Voracek with 15. Sean Couturier (14), current Flyers general manager Danny Briere (12) and Mike Richards (11) round out the top five. Giroux hasn’t played with Philadelphia since March 2022. Voracek hasn’t since the end of the 2020-21 season. Briere? Well since 2012-13 when Philadelphia used one of their compliance buyouts. And Richards? That was 15 years ago when the 2010-11 season wrapped up. The fact that two of the top five haven’t played for the Flyers in over a decade indicates just how deity-awful the team has been in the extra shootout session. Prior to last year, the

Lista: 15 spelare att hålla koll på i Hlinka Gretzky Cup -
kalendern vänder blad till augusti är det dags att höja saker och ting ett snäpp. Hlinka Gretzky Cup är den första stora händelsen på NHL-draften-kalendern, där de bästa spelarna för 2027- och 2028-draften intar rampljuset inför representanter från alla 32 NHL-organisationer. Det är inte alltid den mest spännande hockeyn, eftersom de flesta lag kämpar med att starta upp allt. Kanada har typiskt sett dominerat denna turnering, och vann när det senast hölls i Edmonton 2024. USA vann guld förra året, och kommer att försöka göra detsamma på motståndarnas hemmaplan. Kanada, USA, Småkronorna, Finland, Tjeckien, Slovakien, Tyskland och Schweiz utgör fältet, och evenemanget drivs inte av IIHF på samma sätt som U18-VM. Turneringen samlar de mesta av de bästa tillgängliga talangerna, medan U18-VM ofta kan påverkas av skador sent under säsongen eller slutspel i juniorligor. Idag tittar vi på 15 av de bästa löftena att hålla ögonen på i Alberta. Detta är bara en grundläggande genomgång a
