Daily News | Rookie Colin Felix hopes to carry on his late father’s legacy with the Phantoms
Colin’s hockey journey from the Pennsauken-based Team Comcast 14U youth team to the University of Massachusetts had led him back to the team that Chris worked for and loved. As the 23-year-old defenseman looks forward to the adventure to come, starting with Flyers rookie camp on Thursday, he is building a new connection with his late father that is rooted in the organization.
The Felix family even housed former Phantoms captain John Slaney early in his career with the team. Colin still wears No. 26 because of Slaney. “Eventually I learned it was quicker just to skate across rather than holding on to the wall,” Colin said. Colin inherited a big heart and a sensitive side from his father and a work ethic from his mother, a school teacher in Audubon. Growing up around the Phantoms, Colin absorbed the habits of the older players and became a miniature professional. It was evident early on to Brière that Colin had the makings of a leader.
“We wanted them to still function normally in their regular lives,” Kim said. “We didn’t want this to change them, their goals, who they are, what they were planning on doing.”
