In 1973-74, Bernie Parent recorded a franchise-record 47 wins, shared the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender with Chicago's Tony Esposito, was named the first-team all-star goaltender, finished second in voting for the Hart Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) as the Flyers skated to a Stanley Cup Championship against the Boston Bruins.

Barry Ashbee was one of the Flyers' best defensemen during the early 1970s and won a Stanley Cup with the team during the 1973-74 season, but his career also ended that year due to a severe eye injury he suffered after being struck by a puck. Ashbee became an assistant coach with the team the next season, and the Flyers won their second straight Stanley Cup. In April, 1977, Ashbee learned that he had leukemia and died the next month. His #4 jersey was retired by the Flyers on October 13, 1977, and the Barry Ashbee Trophy is now awarded each season to the best defenseman for the Flyers.

Known as much for his chippiness with his stick as his considerable skill with the puck, Ken "The Rat" Linseman was no stranger to controversy during his career. He had a great talent for agitating the opposing team to a high level of frustration, leading them to take penalties, and was once charged for kicking a player in the head with his skates.

After being chosen first overall in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the Quebec Nordiques, Lindros refused to play for the Nordiques and was eventually traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in June 1992 in exchange for a package of players and draft picks including Peter Forsberg.

In 1969-70, the Philadelphia Flyers went 17-35-24, recording an NHL-record 24 ties.

Left winger Bill Barber spent his entire twelve-year NHL career with the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring a franchise-record 420 goals. The Flyers retired his #7 jersey, on October 7, 1990, just after he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

After the 2012-13 NHL lock-out ended, Giroux was named the 19th team captain in Flyers history, taking over for the indefinitely-injured Chris Pronger.

In 1984-85, Tim Kerr set a team record with 5 hat tricks.

Reggie Leach had his best season in 1975-76 when he set career highs in goals (61), points (91), game-winning goals (11), and plus-minus with a +73 rating. Leach's 61 goals earned him the goal-scoring title (now the Richard Trophy) for that season, as well as the Flyers franchise record for most goals in a season.

In 1988-89, Ron Sutter recorded 26 goals on 106 shots for a franchise record single-season shooting percentage of 24.5%.
