PW was an ambassador for UD as well. I recall my daughter's freshman orientation at the arena. It coincided with Dr Dan's arrival. PW and Mickey Perry spoke to the incoming freshman about their UD experience, telling them to put away all those tshirts and jerseys from other schools and wear UD swag and wear it proudly. A couple of kids who didn't fill the stat sheet but loved being Flyers.
For the life of me I don't understand why more former players aren't more visible/welcomed back, except for HOF induction weekend or other extenuating circumstances (Johnny Davis last year). It's a shared responsibility, but I think UD could put forth a better effort.
