PokerStars has just hit the ice in style, announcing an electrifying partnership with the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers.
This collaboration marks a historic first—PokerStars Casino is now the first poker brand to team up with the iconic hockey team. Fans of poker, casino games, and hockey are in for a game-changing experience.
Winning Plays: Exclusive Rewards for Flyers Fans
The partnership isn’t just about branding—it’s about bringing the excitement of the game to fans. PokerStars players will have the chance to win coveted Flyers tickets, autographed memorabilia, and other exciting prizes through exclusive poker tournaments and monthly sweepstakes hosted on PokerStars Casino.

From Center Ice to Center Stage
PokerStars is gearing up for complete visibility with the Flyers. Fans attending home games at the Wells Fargo Center will notice PokerStars branding prominently displayed, adding extra flair to the game-day atmosphere. Additionally, PokerStars will be featured during TV broadcasts, enhancing its reach to fans across North America.
Rob Battista, Senior Director of Commercial, PokerStars North America, shared his enthusiasm:
"We couldn’t be more excited to partner with a team as passionate as the Flyers. Hockey fans are fierce, loyal, and full of energy—much like our poker players.
