WIP personality pens new Flyers book

WIP's Brian Startare is the author of the new book titled Flyer’d Up.

Here’s a Brian's personal pitch:

Hey Flyers Fans! Brian Startare from 610WIP to let you all know that my new book Flyer’d Up! Trivia, Facts, and Anecdotes for fans of the Orange and Black will be available just in time for the Flyers Carnival on Sunday, February 22. You can pre-order now at www.flyersfanbook.com.

On the pages of Flyer’d Up, there will be extensive trivia along with stories an quotes from the Broad Street Bullies, along with players from the 80’s, 90’s, and today. There will also be contributions from such noted hockey writers and broadcasters as Al Morganti, Anthony San Filippo, Bill Meltzer, and Glen Macnow, along with touching dedications to Flyers great Pelle Lindbergh and legendary broadcaster Gene Hart, right from the pen of his daughter, Lauren, who is currently the teams’ anthem singer. You will also enjoy great photos and hand drawn illustrations, along with some fun tidbits of information along the way. Even a space for you to collect autographs from your favorite Flyers.

Hundreds of hours have been spent compiling facts, conducting interviews, and conveying many thoughts, stories and memories. It was a project that was a labor of love and I would be honored if you would allow yourselves, the best fans in professional sports, to sit back and read through the many pages of Flyers lore and enjoy a moment celebrating what I consider to be the best franchise in all of sport.

Thanks everyone! And don’t forget to stop by the AT&T Pavillion at the Wachovia Center during each Flyers home game and say hello.

Go Flyers!
