"Simmonds, 29, scored 24 goals for the Flyers, his fifth straight season with 24 or more goals, to help them to their eighth Stanley Cup Playoff berth in 11 years. During every other Flyers home game, Simmonds hosted a different military unit in a private suite and met each group at the end of the evening. He also reached out to a group of hockey players from the United States Air Force to invite them to practice and skated with them after their tour of duty. He has been on the board of directors for the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation since 2014 while hosting Wayne's Road Hockey Warriors to help grow the sport in his hometown of Scarborough, Ontario, since 2012."
