Flyers Rookie Series: Where to Watch

The Rookie Series at the PPL Center in Allentown has become an annual September tradition. The two-game series pits Philadelphia Flyers prospects against their New York Rangers counterparts. The 2026 edition takes place on September 12-13.

Rookie Camp attendees span the gamut from some players who have already played some NHL games — such as Porter Martone, Denver Barkey and Alex Bump — to players selected in the most recent NHL Draft like Maksim Sokolovskii and Brek Liske. There are AHLers who will play for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season. There are also tryout invites aiming to impress enough to earn an entry-level contract.

Active collegiate prospects cannot participate. NCAA rules prohibit college players from participating in pro camps that overlap with the academic calendar. For this reason Flyers prospects such as Jack Nesbitt, Carter Amico and Shane Vansaghi are not at Rookie Camp or the games in Allentown.

Likewise, prospects on teams overseas are unavailable. The European seasons are underway (or about to be). Most notably for the Flyers, center Jack Berglund and goaltender Yegor Zavaragin remain in Europe.
