ALLENTOWN - It appears Flyers fans have bought into general manager Ron Hextall's rebuilding plans.
The Flyers' season-ticket base remains stable even though the team is coming off a season in which it missed the playoffs for the second time in three years - and Hextall was unable to make any major offseason moves because of limited cap space.
The Flyers, their farm system greatly improved under Hextall, have sold 16,000 tickets per game, a slight drop of about 500 tickets per game from the previous year.
Shawn Tilger, who heads the Flyers' business operations, said he was "appreciative but not surprised" that the season-ticket base was still strong.
