The Flyers eliminated the ice girls within months of a Mother Jones story in which members of the crew complained about shitty work conditions, draconian rules, and meager pay—not too dissimilar from what NFL cheerleaders have been alleging in various lawsuits against their teams. Consider this the Flyers being proactive: the Rangers scrapped their all-female ice team in 2007, but only after settling a lawsuit that included claims of sexual harassment.

Pretty sure BBI could come up with a better name (for either) in Â

The puck sluts are pretty hot, I'll give them that.

They have the ice dancers at The Rock... Â

they had to put up the screen because, shockingly enough, drunken hockey fans would leer at them, which is essentially why they're there in the first place. It'd be nice not to have to explain to my daughters what a girl in a tiny outfit has to do with hockey.

Devils dancers are gone.. Â

Good. Cheerleaders are one thing, but nothing about those girls said "Go Devils"
