In thrilling news for hockey fans everywhere, Netflix has officially announced the upcoming release of a new sports documentary that will spotlight two Philadelphia Flyers legends: current star Travis Konecny and all-time great Bobby Clarke. The project, titled “Broad Street Bloodlines,” promises a deep and emotional exploration of the careers, struggles, and triumphs of these two iconic players who represent different eras of Flyers history.
Netflix confirmed that the documentary will premiere later this year, with behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and never-before-seen personal moments that reveal the heart and spirit behind both players’ legacies.
“This is a story of passion, perseverance, and loyalty to a franchise and a city,” said Netflix’s Head of Sports Documentaries, Megan O’Reilly. “Travis Konecny and Bobby Clarke embody the heart of Philadelphia hockey, and we’re honored to tell their stories side-by-side.”
The documentary will explore Bobby Clarke’s journey from a small-town Canadian kid battling diabetes to becoming one of the fiercest competitors and most beloved captains in NHL history. Clarke’s leadership during the Flyers’ 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup victories remains legendary, and his tough, never-back-down style has made him an enduring figure in hockey lore.
At the same time, the film will showcase Travis Konecny’s rise as a modern-day Flyers superstar — known for his speed, grit, and scoring touch. Viewers will get a rare glimpse into Konecny’s personal and professional life, including the pressures of carrying the hopes of a passionate fan base and the sacrifices made to stay at the top of his game.
The production has been underway for over a year, with crews following Konecny through practices, games, and offseason training, while digging into rich archives of Clarke’s storied career. Interviews with family members, teammates, and coaches — past and present — will add depth and emotion to the storytelling.
Fans are already buzzing with anticipation. Social media exploded with excitement as the news broke, with many expressing eagerness to see how Netflix will capture the spirit of Flyers hockey through two players separated by generations, yet connected by legacy.
“Two eras. One city. One unstoppable passion,” Netflix teased in the documentary’s first promotional poster released today.
Broad Street Bloodlines is expected to hit Netflix worldwide in November, just in time for hockey season — and it’s already shaping up to be a must-watch for every hockey lover.
