From Reggie Leach to Wayne Simmonds and Scott Hartnell, Flyers have had memorable All-Star Games

From Leon Rochefort to Reggie Leach. From Mark Recchi to Jake Voracek. From Scott Hartnell to … Claude Giroux?

Those are some of the Flyers who have made an impact in an All-Star Game.

Giroux will get the next chance. He was the only Flyer selected to this year’s four-team, three-on-three All-Star tourney, which will be held Saturday in Las Vegas  at 3 p.m. (ABC).

Giroux, 34, and Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos will be making their seventh All-Star appearances, the most of any of the 44 participants. Calgary’s Johnny Gaudreau, a South Jersey native, is third among this year’s players as he will make his sixth appearance.

Here are some Flyers’ highlights in the games and tournaments over the years.

1968: Rochefort, 29, was the first Flyer ever selected to an All-Star team.

1980: Leach became the first Flyer named an All-Star Game MVP, collecting goal and an assist.

1993: In the final All-Star Game held at Montreal’s fabled Forum, Recchi had five points – a goal and four assists – to help the Wales Conference wallop the Campbell Conference, 16-6.Mike Gartner had four goals and was the game’s MVP.

2012: Scott Hartnell earned a spot on the All-Star team with his strong play, but he also had a penchant for falling down. So Hartnell, who didn’t take himself too seriously, promised to donate $1,000 to charity for every time he fell.

Four falls later, he wrote a check for $4,000.

His Flyers teammates – and some others – were only happy to help.

“Giroux was trying to trip me on the faceoffs,” Hartnell said. “He got me down during warmups once.”

2015: Voracek had six points – a hat trick and three assists – in the 2015 All-Star Game in Columbus, where the Blue Jackets’ Ryan Johansen was the MVP in Team Toews’ 17-12 win.

2017:  Simmonds had three goals over two rounds of games and was named the MVP.

2022: Giroux will be the Metropolitan Division captain and will be trying to lead his team to the title.
