The year was 2016 and the Flyers played a game that included many events. Scoring, the fans were on their feet and Brayden Schenn even scored a hat trick. All that excitement but there was a particular event that stands out and will be remembered forever. Who remembers the name Anne Duggan? No one, anyone, somebody! Well, let me tell you.



In 2016, Flyer's fan Anne Duggan who was 80 years young at the time, celebrated a Brayden Schenn hat trick like no other.

Now we all know the tradition of throwing a hat on the ice but what do you do if you don't have one? You do what Anne did- improvise.

Anne Duggan is known for throwing her bra on the ice when the Hat trick was completed. Once this happened it was a viral sensation.

Now, hockey has a long tradition of bras being thrown over the glass after hat tricks. There was the «extra support» that hit the ice after a Taylor Hall hat trick. The Bakersfield Condors did the «teddy bear toss» thing, but with underwear, last year.



But we've never seen one of our «veteran» hockey fans so inspired by the exploits of an NHL player that she ripped off her bra and threw it onto the ice. That's dedication right there.
