>Coincidental signings
If you had Alex Bump and Devin Kaplan getting selected by the Flyers in the same 2022 draft, playing against each other in the 2025 NCAA Division 1 championship game and then getting signed to a pro contract on the same day, April 15, 2025, get on a plane to Las Vegas. You know how to predict coincidences when you see them.
Bump, the Flyers’ fifth-round selection (133rd) in 2022, helped Western Michigan University win its first U.S. crown on Saturday night. The opponent? Boston University, which was led by Kaplan, a third-rounder in ’22.
The 21-year-old Bump will report to the AHL Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the remainder of the season. He has participated in the Flyers’ development camp each of the last three seasons.
Serving as captain of the Broncos, he led the team in scoring and was 13th in the NCAA with 47 points (23 goals, 24 assists).
Kaplan, selected 69th overall in ’22, also has participated in the past three Philadelphia development camps. The 6-foor-3, 205-pound forward posted a total of 25 goals/64 points over his past three seasons with the Terriers. He is reporting directly to the Flyers.

>Hathaway nominated for King Clancy Memorial Trophy
On Tuesday, the Flyers announced that veteran forward Garnet Hathaway is their nominee for this year’s King Clancy Memorial Trophy.
The trophy is awarded annually “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution to the community.”
Flyers CEO and chairman of Comcast Spectacor and Flyers governor Dan Hilferty said the nomination is well deserved.
“Since Garnet’s arrival to Philadelphia, his impact on our team, our fans and across the community has been infectious,” Hilferty said. “What he and his wife Lindsay have done over the past two seasons for our local community, specifically the first responders’ community has been truly admirable and the entire organization is extremely proud to call them members of the Flyers family.”
Hathaway, 33, is completing his 10th season in the NHL. Through his initiative, “Hath’s Heroes,” Hathaway has dedicated his time, resources and platform to support first responders and their families, with a focus on financial assistance and their overall well-being.
“It’s an incredible honor to be recognized for this award,” Hathaway said. “But the real reward comes from the connections Lindsay and I have made with first responders and their families.
“Their sacrifices and dedication inspire me every day and through Hath’s Heroes, I hope to continue supporting and giving back to those who serve our community.”
