Remembering Bernie Parent: The Lasting Legacy of a Flyers Legend

Remembering Bernie Parent: The Lasting Legacy of a Flyers Legend

In this special bonus episode of The Smerconish Podcast, Michael reflects on the life and legacy of Philadelphia Flyers legend Bernie Parent, who passed away this week at the age of 80 (1945-2025). In the opening minutes, Michael shares personal memories of the Hall of Fame goaltender, recalling Bernie’s impact on the city, his larger-than-life personality, and the joy he brought to fans. Following the remembrance, we revisit a 2008 archive conversation between Michael and Bernie. In this interview, Bernie opens up about his career, his philosophy on life, and the mindset that made him one of hockey’s most celebrated figures, all while taking calls from listeners that day on WPHT in Philly (February 18, 2008). This episode is both a tribute and an opportunity to hear Bernie’s voice once more, in his own words. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
