Philadelphia Little Flyers

The Philadelphia Little Flyers are an USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier III Jr. A ice hockey team from Aston, Pennsylvania. They play in the South Conference of the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) - Premier Division at the IceWorks Skating Complexhttp://www.iceworks.net/hockey.shtml
The players, ages 16–20, carry amateur status under Junior A guidelines and hope to earn a spot on higher levels of junior hockey in the United States and Canada, Canadian Major Junior, Collegiate, and eventually professional teams.
==History==
The Little Flyers were one of the six charter members for the Atlantic Junior Hockey League (AJHL) in 2003 after previously having Tier III Junior B teams in the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League. They played in every season of the AJHL until 2013 when Tier III junior hockey leagues were reorganized and the AJHL was re-branded as the Eastern Hockey League (EHL). In 2015, the EHL added a lower level of Tier III junior hockey for player development called the EHL-Elite Division and all the current EHL members, including the Little Flyers, were added to the EHL-Premier Division.
The organization also continues to field youth hockey select teams at the Midget 16U, Bantam, Peewee, and Squirt levels.http://plf.goalline.ca/ From 2003 to 2015, the Little Flyers fielded a team at the former Tier III Junior B level in the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League.
