Philadelphia Flyers Recruit New Ice Team Members for 2026‑27 Season

Philadelphia Flyers are launching the 2026‑27 Ice Team auditions, inviting skilled skaters to join the game‑night crew and help build the home‑ice advantage. Applicants must be 18 or older, bring their own skates, and be ready to work home games while the club sits 8th in the Eastern Conference with a 43‑27 record and a three‑game winning streak as of July 5 2026.

Who can audition for the Ice Team?

The Flyers are targeting energetic candidates with strong skating fundamentals. Prospects need a positive personality, good communication skills, and flexible availability for home games throughout the season. Reliable transportation is a must, as the audition venue sits at the Flyers Training Center in Voorhees, New Jersey.

What does the audition involve?

Auditions run July 8, 2026, from 6:00 pm‑7:30 pm, with check‑in at 5:45 pm. For $50, each applicant will perform forward and backward skating drills, cross‑overs in a circle, and a brief interview. The evaluation focuses on skating technique and on‑ice confidence, ensuring candidates can keep the crowd hyped and assist with ice maintenance.

Why the Ice Team matters to the Flyers?

Beyond cheering, the Ice Team serves as a bridge between the locker room and fans. Members interact with spectators, promote in‑game contests, and appear at schools, hospitals, and charity events. Their presence amplifies the Flyers’ community footprint and reinforces the team’s brand across the Greater Philadelphia area.

When and where is the dancer workshop?

A separate Ice Team Dancers Workshop takes place July 29, 2026, from 6:00 pm‑8:00 pm at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. The session offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at game‑day choreography, taught by current Ice Team members. Participants will learn sideline moves and a full combo, ending with a Q&A featuring the Ice Team coach.

How to prepare and register?

Applicants should arrive in athletic attire, bring personal skates, and be ready for a fast‑paced evaluation. Pre‑registration is encouraged for both the skater audition and dancer workshop to secure a spot. While there are no open dancer auditions for 2026‑27, the workshop provides valuable insight for future hopefuls.

What’s next after the auditions?

Selected skaters will join the Flyers’ roster for the upcoming season, supporting home games and community outreach. Their schedule will align with the Flyers’ home‑ice calendar, ensuring they’re on hand for every puck drop. The club expects the new Ice Team to enhance fan engagement and contribute to the team’s competitive edge on the ice.
