Captains play a bigger role in hockey than they do in other team sports. The Philadelphia Flyers have had some great captains since they entered the league in 1967. This article will examine the five best captains in the franchise's history.

Captains are judged by the length of time during which they wore the "C" for the Flyers and how successful their leadership was during their tenure as captain. Leadership provided while not serving as captain of the Flyers or playing on another NHL team is not considered for purposes of this article.

In addition, team success while this player served as captain is also a factor.

As you will see, the Flyers have had some of the best leaders in the league.
