Ed Snider went after an NHL expansion franchise for Philadelphia in the league's push beyond the Original Six, and it was his sister who came up with the name Flyers. Bud Poile ran the front office through the club's first two seasons and Keith Allen coached them, laying down a team that took the ice in 1967 with little to suggest what was coming.

What was coming arrived under Fred Shero, who took over in 1971 and built a side so physical that Philadelphia Bulletin writers Jack Chevalier and Pete Cafone reached for a new name in January 1973: the Broad Street Bullies. Dave Schultz backed the label up by setting an NHL record for penalty minutes in a single season in 1974–75, and the approach won more than headlines — the Flyers took the Stanley Cup in 1974 against the Boston Bruins and again in 1975 against the Buffalo Sabres, the only two championships the franchise has claimed.

Sixteen division titles and eight conference championships followed across four decades, along with three seasons — 1974–75, 1979–80 and 1984–85 — good enough for the league's best regular-season record before the Presidents' Trophy existed to reward it. The Xfinity Mobile Arena, known as the Wells Fargo Center until its naming rights changed in August 2025, holds 19,173 for hockey. The club adopted a specific shade of burnt orange for the 2023–24 season as a deliberate nod back to the Bullies era and the teams of the 1980s and 1990s.

No one carries the era better than Bobby Clarke. He captained the 1974 Cup winner and scored the goal that clinched it, won the Hart Trophy that same year, and had his number 7 retired by the club — the player the Broad Street Bullies are still measured against.
