"Days after Flyers chairman Ed Snider told CSNPhilly.com at Mark Howe's Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Toronto that his Flyers' jersey deserved to be retired (see blog post), the Flyers are doing just that.

On March 6 when the Detroit Red Wings visit Wells Fargo Center, Howe's No. 2 jersey will be retired, sources said this morning.

There has been a constant clamoring among Flyers fans for several years now to get Howe's jersey retired."
