BOSTON SPORTS TRIP
 Bruins @ Flyers
January 27, 2024
Wells Fargo Center | Philadelphia, PA

Coming in at #8 on my
Top 10 Games I Attended in 2024 list 
is a trip to the City of Broverly Love—Philadelphia.

 

Quick backstory: 
 
In April 2023, 
I partnered to launch 
a sports travel business, 
Boston Sports Trips. 
 
Our first trip took Patriots fans 
to a loss in Las Vegas 
against the Raiders 
in October 2023
(not the Chandler Jones Game thankfully). 
 
Our second trip 
brought us here, 
to Wells Fargo Center, 
to watch the @nhlbruins 
take on the @philadelphiaflyers

It was a pivotal game 
for the BST brand, 
looking to get back to a 
.500 trip record.  
 
The day kicked off 
with an early flight 
from Boston to Philly, 
where we were welcomed 
in style by a stretch Hummer 
(shoutout Harry’s Limos!). 
 
Our first stop? 
The legendary Bob Cavanaugh’s suite, 
decked out and ready to host 
a mostly Bruins-heavy crew 
(with a few local Flyers fans, 
including Eagles legend @kewlmf —dayum skippy). 
 
Drinks flowed, 
food was devoured, 
and the energy was prime 
for some Big Bad Bruins hockey
🐻
 
The game?
An absolute masterclass. 
 
Four first-period goals 
set the tone for a dominant 
6-2 rout of the Flyers. 
 
The Bruins couldn’t have played it better 
if they tried. 
 
Regular 
season 
Bruins 
hockey 
at 
its 
finest
🏒
 
Postgame, 
the vibes rolled on 
at @chickiesandpetes 
a Philly staple with authentic energy. 
 
A few more beverages, appetizers, 
and we hopped back in the Hummer 
for the airport 
✈️
 
By the time 
the Bruins day trip to Philly wrapped up, 
the group was back in bed before midnight. 
 
While the @bostonsportstrips brand 
eventually went the way 
of the Hartford Whalers (RIP), 
this trip was a highlight. 
 
It taught me valuable lessons 
about business, 
fan culture, 
and how to build something meaningful—
even if it doesn’t last.
 
This one isn’t just about the game itself, 
but what it represented: 
taking a shot, 
learning the hard way, 
and remembering that every step, 
even the missteps, 
gets you closer to the next big thing.
