One fan drove a long way to meet him.
Flyers Right Wing Jakub Voracek spent part of his night off Monday signing autographs and memorabilia for fans at Carl's Card and Collectibles in Havertown. Jay Pew was among the dozens who came to get a signature and a photo with the 23-year-old hockey player from the Czech Republic. Pew drove all the way from Burlington, NJ, to meet Voracek. "This is the greatest place to meet the players," Pew told Patch. Pew says he's been a big Flyer's fan since the early 70s "when they won the cup." That was two decades before Voracek was born.
