Bobby Clarke

Bobby Clarke was a Canadian centre who played all fifteen of his NHL seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers and scored 1,210 points. Clarke captained the Flyers to Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975, won the Hart Trophy three times, and later ran the club as general manager. Clarke has carried the title of senior vice president since leaving the general manager's chair in 2006, and the Flyers' 2023 front-office overhaul moved Clarke out of decision-making.
