Synopsis

The name 'Broad Street Bullies' in synonymous with tenacity, toughness, and hockey royalty in Philadelphia. Names like Bobby Clarke, Bernie Parent, Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, Gary Dornhoefer, Don Saleski, Ed Van Impe, and Bob "Hound Dog" Kelly brought an aggressive, punishing style of play to the NHL and delivered back-to-back Stanley Cups to the City of Brotherly Love in 1974 and 1975.

Bullies, by longtime Flyers beat writer Sam Carchidi alongside writer and director Jeff Hare, explores this incredible group of hockey legends and why this band of beloved misfits resonated so strongly among the entire city of Philadelphia. Fifty years have passed since the Broad Street Bullies became the first expansion team to win both the Stanley Cup and the hearts of generations of new Flyers fans, and the men who fought those fights and won those battles are forever engrained into the psyche of Philly sports lore.

Carchidi and Hare bring these beloved folk heroes back into the spotlight, shedding light on not just what they did on the ice, but what they meant to the city that embraced them.
