Richard, who spend the 2023-24 season between the Providence and Boston Bruins signed with the Flyers on Tuesday.
“OFFICIAL: We have signed center Anthony Richard to a two-year, two-way contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $775,000. #LetsGoFlyers”

Woburn’s Riley Duran ready to make a push during Bruins’ training camp
“I’m gonna show up to [training] camp and give it everything I got.”
Riley Duran has dreamt of donning the spoked-B his whole life.
The Woburn native hasn’t had to stray very far from the nest on his path to pro hockey — elevating his stock at Lawrence Academy and the Cape Cod Whalers before spending one season with the USHL’s Youngstown Phantoms.
After three collegiate seasons at Providence College, the 2020 sixth-round pick is finally within Boston’s organization.
“Just come in with confidence,” Duran said Tuesday at Warrior Ice Arena of his approach entering the 2024-25 season. “I think that’s my biggest thing. When I’m playing with confidence, that’s when I’m at my best. Just get bigger and stronger. It’s not a boy’s game anymore, it’s a man’s game.”
