Colin Newby

Colin Newby is a freelance writer from Delaware County, PA covering the Philadelphia Flyers for The Hockey Writers. He is an encyclopedia of useless sports knowledge with an uncanny ability to rattle off Flyers goaltending stats from 2004 and every Stanley Cup winner during his lifetime. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Temple University and a Master of Science from Saint Joseph's University. The depths of his knowledge stem from spending his entire life following the Flyers and the NHL, from fan favorites like the "Legion of Doom" and Claude Giroux to forgotten journeymen like Andy Delmore and Branko Radivojevič. He joined the Professional Hockey Writers' Association (PHWA) in 2022. Colin also covers the Philadelphia Eagles and works for 97.5 The Fanatic and the Beasley Media cluster of radio stations in Philadelphia.
