Flyers' fans were saddened to hear of icon Patrick Sharp being traded to Chicago in 2005, however, he is finally returning home. Sharp had a great career as a player in the NHL, totalling 287 goals and 337 assists in 939 NHL games. He was a key player when the Blackhawks won the Cup in 2010, and won the gold medal with Team Canada in 2014. <a href='https://www.hawksinsider.com/nhl/news/why-patrick-sharp-gave-up-a-huge-tv-career-to-join-the-flyers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Sharp is finally returning to Philadelphia</a>, as he has just taken on a role as a special advisor to hockey operations.

Sharp explained the situation in further detail: <q>«I think (television) was great for me the first three or four years after retiring. It kept me in the game, fed my ego, got a lot of face time,» Sharp said. «But as the years went on, it became less enjoyable. I loved the people I worked with, both with the Hawks and at NBC. It felt like they were a part of a team. But I missed actually wearing a team logo and working with players and being a part of something.»</q> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/446171.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Sharp has a good feeling that the Flyers are close to being a very good contending team. His new job with them will allow him to have a more hands-on approach, as opposed to being up in the press box, and he wants to do whatever he can to hoist the Stanley Cup again.
