The1969–70Philadelphia Flyers season was the Philadelphia Flyers'thirdseason in theNational Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers missed the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, setting a team record for fewest wins and an NHL record for most ties.

Off-season

[edit]

On May 20, 1969,Keith Allen was named vice president and assistant general manager of the team and replaced as head coach byVic Stasiuk.[2] Stasiuk spent the previous two seasons as the head coach of theQuebec Aces, the FlyersAmerican Hockey League affiliate.[2]

The Flyers took a chance when they selected a 19-year-old diabetic fromFlin Flon, Manitoba, namedBobby Clarke with their second draft pick, 17th overall, in the1969 NHL amateur draft.

Regular season

[edit]

By the time training camp came around it was clear that Clarke was the best player on the team, and he quickly became a fan favorite. His 15 goals and 31 assists earned him a trip to theNHL All-Star Game.

On December 11, 1969, the Flyers introduced what became one of the team's best-known traditions: playing a recording ofKate Smith singingGod Bless America instead ofThe Star-Spangled Banner before important games. The perception was that the team was more successful on these occasions, so the tradition grew. The move was initially done by Flyers promotion director Lou Scheinfeld as a way to defray national tensions at the time of the Vietnam War: Scheinfeld noticed that people regularly left their seats to walk around during the anthem, but showed more respect and often sang along to "God Bless America". To this day, the team plays the song before major playoff games, currently withLauren Hart (daughter of Hall of Fame Flyers broadcast announcerGene Hart) performing the first part of the song, a recording of Smith singing the second part, and Lauren Hart joining the recording for the finale. As of the close of the 2013–14 Flyers season, the Flyers have a record of 96–28–4 whenGod Bless America is sung prior to home games.[3]

General managerBud Poile was fired on December 19.[4] Keith Allen was named his replacement on December 22.[4]

The team struggled in1969–70 recording a franchise worst (as of completion of the2013–14 season) in wins (17). Even with such a bad output, the Flyers had a seven-point lead on theOakland Seals with six games to play. However, the Flyers lost their last six games and Oakland made up the deficit. They lost the tiebreaker for the final playoff spot to Oakland, missing the playoffs for the first time.
