How do you celebrate a four-goal comeback? A nice quiet night at home? Not if you’re a professional athlete. You might hit the clubs, or a strip joint. Or, if you’re the Philadelphia Flyers, you crash a frat party.
(Mike Richards and friends practice the 2-on-1)
That was the scene Thursday night in Philly’s Old City, when a fraternity formal progressed from the usual roofie coladas and drunken fumbling sex in the bathroom to something much more special. It was that kind of magic that can only occur when millionaire athletes show up unexpectedly to mooch off of the frat’s beer.
SPORTSbyBROOKS exclusive pics after the jump.
I’ll let the Temple University fraternity’s president explain the night:
So they came up, essentially they just chilled near the bar, kept getting all the free drinks, well drinks we paid for, which is great we paid for the Flyers to get trashed at our date party. They were very chill, we asked them to take a lot of pictures there were very friendly. Apparently one of the guys there hit on my date, kinda funny cuz I didn’t get any (not surprising).
(Jeff Carter is much more interested in free booze than cheap women)

Michelle Kwan look alike is pretty cute. The other women are ghastly.
10:54 am on December 15th, 2008
Quite a sausage fest there. A strip club probably would have been more fun.
11:26 am on December 15th, 2008
Does anyone really know what the Flyers look like? It could have been a scam by some local Philly fellas just looking for some free drinks.
1:38 pm on December 15th, 2008
The Asian girl is pretty cute. Where's Michael Phelps?
2:51 pm on December 15th, 2008
This is such a scam! The only one of them that looks remotely close to who they say they are is Mike Richards. Nitty and Upshall look nothing like that! Carter a little and Richards a lot, who falls for this sh*t?
3:21 pm on December 15th, 2008
that is carter and richards, but not upshall and nitty
3:52 pm on December 15th, 2008
carter lives in olde city or close to it , 'cause i see him all the time, the only other flyer was richards . that is def not nitty nor upshall ..
3:55 pm on December 15th, 2008
carter lives in olde city or close to it. one of the only flyers that live in the city. I see him all the time around that area, the only other flyer was richards . that is def not nitty nor upshall ..
3:59 pm on December 15th, 2008
100% not Upshall or Nitty, but that is definitely Richards and Carter.
4:52 pm on December 15th, 2008
Only 2 Flyers in the Photos are Richards and Carter. The other guys are either Phantoms or just friends.
6:45 pm on December 15th, 2008
yeah, not sure who the other two are. that's pretty funny though if they did crash the party.
7:22 pm on December 15th, 2008
OMFG! DATS NOT DEM! YOU GUYZ GOT SCAMMED!
OMFGZ LOLLERSKATES!
7:58 pm on December 15th, 2008
look up their pics on yahoo…def all them….
8:05 pm on December 15th, 2008
The blad guy they claim is Nitty is actually ex-Flyer and Brick, NJ native Jim Dowd.
9:13 pm on December 15th, 2008
hah, not jim dowd, try again
10:18 pm on December 15th, 2008
that is 100% carter and richards and 100% not upshall and nitty. And it definitely is not 40 year old jim dowd.
10:29 pm on December 15th, 2008
So that's what Patrick Thoresen has been up to.
10:32 pm on December 15th, 2008
No scam…it's definitely Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. I'm from Canada; I know. That last photo is a good one of the frat boy with Carter — currently the NHL's leading goal scorer (or close to it).
10:36 pm on December 15th, 2008
You're from Canada, so you know what Richards and Carter look like? Do Canadians have some sort of built-in face recognition powers that allow them to recognize their countrymen? Idiot…..
Definitely Richie and Carts, but the Upshall and Nitty tags are way the hell off.
10:48 pm on December 15th, 2008
Yes, face recognition powers, that's totally it funny guy. Not because, you know, we've seen them play for 7 or 8 years now, and are capable of remembering a face.
11:19 pm on December 15th, 2008
must have been a Temple party. Those girls are way too fugly to be from 'nova, Penn or St. Joes.
11:19 pm on December 15th, 2008
i love how my date is in the last picture :]
12:11 am on December 16th, 2008
Oh is that how it is up in Canada you guys have nothing better to do than to watch elementary school kids play hockey both of them would have been like 15 if u were watching them for 7 or 8 years theres no way there faces even look the same as then and it def looks like both richards and carter. I agree with mike …idiot
12:19 am on December 16th, 2008
Agree, that's Carter & Richards but def not Upshall or Nitty. (And Jim Dowd?!? Pfft, no.)
I've, you know…heard…that Richie is doing his best to keep up w/ Jeff (who's the real "ladies man" - and btw has a huge c!ck…)
12:37 am on December 16th, 2008
In the frats defense…we can only see like 4 different girls in these pictures. I was at the place that night and there actually were some bangin girls.
12:49 am on December 16th, 2008
Oooh, 7 or 8 years? You must the only Kitchner Rangers/Flyers Fan on this whole wide board. Everybody clap for the hockey fan on a hockey message thread….all we 'a know is tennis, so thank god you showed up with your amazing face recognition powers. Thought Nadal and Federer were partyin' in Philly…..
1:38 am on December 16th, 2008
Relax Mike. Way too thin skinned, you are. And mean spirited. It was just a "tongue in cheek" comment, as it is rare that a hockey story comes through here…at least one that doesn't involve a big brawl. Peace brother! lol
1:57 am on December 16th, 2008
Think the dude with the soul patch could be Carle, not sure though.
8:08 am on December 16th, 2008
Its not nitty, its metropolit
8:14 am on December 16th, 2008
Lela and Mike, fans of the Flyers and Canadian hockey don't need to have "Speacial facial recognition abilities" as you so moronically put it. If you live in Canada and are a Hockey/Flyers fan, you wou have seen Richards and Carter play for Team Canada at the World junior hockey tournament, and also for the Phantoms and Flyers since 05. It's called watching a lot of games and having the ability to remember someone face?? Cmon get real. Also, the only Flyers in those pics are Richards and Carter, and it's def them. The other guys are not Niity, Dowd OR Upshall, but may be Phantoms.
11:06 am on December 16th, 2008
Anony, no, thats not even close to what Metropolit looks like.
12:32 pm on December 16th, 2008
lmao…I'm Canadian and even I think that "I'm from Canada; I know," statement is ridiculous. There are a hell of a lot of Canadians who have no clue what they look like. Statements like that make people ask "oh, you're from Canada? Do you know Bob?"
12:44 pm on December 16th, 2008
It's easy to tell a Canadian, we have faces that flap in the middle. Don't you people watch South Park?
1:00 pm on December 16th, 2008
The gentlemen with Mike Richards in the first photo is a local from Kenora down visiting Mike.
1:30 pm on December 16th, 2008
definitely not Scottie.
2:28 pm on December 16th, 2008
John, don't play off an utterly mundane comment by pretending is was tongue-in-cheek. If you can't mentally proofread your notes before posting them, then do us all a favor and disconnect the keyboard and plug in the USB toaster. I don't consider myself mean-spirited, I just don't like wasting my time glancing over timeless gems like "I'm Canadian, I should know what Richards and Carter look like". It was an idiotic and nonsensical comment, not an attempt at sarcasm.
2:34 pm on December 16th, 2008
Hextall, seriously….
If John meant to insinuate that he has watched a lot of games over the years, then perhaps he should consider stating "I've watched a lot of hockey games over the years". If you're going to state that you can correctly identify a notable hockey player or two simply because you hail from the Great White North, then perhaps he can complete the self-stereotype trifecta and alert me to the tastiest maple syrup or perhaps recommend the most mouth-wateringly delicious cut of back-bacon. All I'm saying is think before you speak, and if you can't properly articulate your intent or meaning on the first try, then don't post anything at all. It's fair game once you click submit.
9:56 pm on December 16th, 2008
these girls are so ugly. they gotta be from st. joes
10:06 pm on December 16th, 2008
LOL at all the idiots bashing the Canadian idiot.
10:38 pm on December 16th, 2008
Flyers go to party to pick up underage girls that snuck in to underage drink. Sweet Statutory!
12:52 am on December 17th, 2008
The two mystery guests were Peter Forsberg and Mats Sundin. I was actually there.
12:47 pm on December 17th, 2008
@ kevin
haha i know right. as if professional athletes have a hard time picking up ATTRACTIVE girls that are of age at a normal bar, the flyers best players have to crash a frat date party haha you stay classy philadelphia.
1:23 pm on December 17th, 2008
They bald guy is Glen Metropolit, and the other guy is Matt Carle.
2:37 pm on December 17th, 2008
@ mr. sugar
you're kidding, right?
4:06 pm on December 17th, 2008
what bar was it at?
4:33 pm on December 17th, 2008
Are you all f***ing retarded? Everybody sits here and tries to prove the other wrong as if to say…"If only we had some resource to see what players on the Flyers <em>actually</em> looked like!" It's obviously Richards and Carter and the other two… they aren't on the Flyers and I don't have the time or desire to look through the Phantoms roster. They could be their roommates for all we know. Also, who gives a sh*t? Great, you hung out with the Flyers. I'm sure it was fun… Next party!
6:37 pm on December 17th, 2008
Well Kevin, almost all if not all college girls are 18 and therefore of age. Maybe not old enough to drink but old it enough for it not to be statutory.
9:57 pm on December 17th, 2008
whats the big deal after the win like that they deserve it ,just dont make habit but then again remember pelle
5:15 am on December 18th, 2008
both unknowns are from Kenora
6:43 am on December 18th, 2008
@ Natalie
The only Flyers you can see are Richards/Matt Carle (in first two pics), and you can see Carter in some of the later pictures.
That's definitely not Metropolit in the 3rd picture lol. Just because he happens to be short and bald, does not make him Metropolit.
Why would he go out with Richards/Carter/Carle. That would be such a 'misfit'. Those three are young and single, and Metro is old and a 'family' man - (married).
That would be like Gagne going out to watch a WWE match with Cote and Asham.
I think the bald guy was just a friend of one of the Flyers.
6:44 am on December 18th, 2008
oops - my bad; I meant @ Mr. Sugar.
8:42 am on December 18th, 2008
bald guy is a friend of mike's ' Jamie Minor (contractor), the guy in the first photo with Mike is Jeff Bowen, i think he plays hockey in england
3:08 pm on December 18th, 2008
Looks like Richie digs slanty-va-jay-jay.
3:12 pm on December 18th, 2008
PS - Temple sucks.
7:04 pm on December 18th, 2008
Um, big bald dude looks like Tim Hudson from the Braves, maybe he was in town to see the Phils????
3:31 pm on December 19th, 2008
This is definitely not a scam… they were there, considering i go to Temple and i know about this. You people need to chill.. lets not be racial and disrespectful to people who are either from a different origin or to people who go to Temple. Your just jealous, admit it.
10:02 pm on December 19th, 2008
its fake
10:48 pm on December 24th, 2008
Not Carle…
6:15 pm on January 12th, 2009
8:47 pm on January 14th, 2009
are you all retarded? hell, if i pay for the drinks, i definitely want to drink with mike richards and jeff carter…prob the gayest frat in the city
4:32 pm on February 10th, 2009
I'm from Slovakia and I know Sidney Crosby when I see him.
12:40 am on October 24th, 2009
Muscling in on the frat boys action, I like that:)
9:10 pm on October 25th, 2009
it’s confirmed, Mike Richards and the Flyers really ARE douchebags — with that kind of salary, who in their right mind would CHOOSE to attend a Frat party?
tools.
3:07 pm on November 14th, 2009
The guy with Richards who has a goatee is a friend from his hometown…Duff is his name…and the guy with no hair is again another friend from Richies hometown…Mr. Minor he is
4:22 pm on November 14th, 2009
Ricahrds and Carter pictured for sure. Other 2 are…bald guy..Jamie Minor (Mines), Richies friend from Kenora who played US college hockey in Wisconsin some where. Now works in kenora and plays AAA senior hockey. The guy with the fuzz under his lip is Jeff Bowen (Duff)…another Kenora friend who played hockey at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. He lives in Kenora and plays AAA Senior hockey. Mystery solved.
