The Philadelphia Flyers players arrived for Saturday's NHL Stadium Series game dressed as Rocky Balboa as they walked into MetLife Stadium to face the New Jersey Devils.
Taking inspiration from the iconic movie character that made his home in Philadelphia, all of the Flyers stepped off the team bus in wearing a black winter hat and grey sweats, a nod to Rocky's trademark workout gear.

The Flyers are continuing the tradition of athletes wearing interesting outfits as they arrive for their games, and it's a good thing to see the players having fun once in a while. The Flyers are hoping to get back on the winning track after having a four-game winning streak snapped on Thursday with an overtime loss to Toronto.
