The Philadelphia Flyers announced today they have re-signed forward Garnet Hathaway to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $2.4 million, according to General Manager Daniel Briere. The contract begins during the 2025-26 season.
"Garnet has been a great addition to our team and we're very happy to extend him to be a Flyer for the next several seasons," said Brière. "His style of play and level of professionalism had a big effect on our group last season, and he embodies the standard our team set out to build both on and off the ice."
Hathaway, 32 (11/23/91), collected 17 points (7g-10a) in 82 regular-season games with the Flyers, his first with the team. He led the team in hits (326), which also ranked second in the entire NHL and first among all forwards in the league. The right-shot forward was one of four players on the Flyers who appeared in all 82 games, and he skated in his 500th career NHL game on Jan. 13 at Winnipeg.
