List Of Philadelphia Quakers (NHL) Players
This is a complete list of ice hockey players who played for the Philadelphia Quakers in the National Hockey League (NHL). It includes players that played at least one match, either in the NHL regular season or in the NHL playoffs. Granted a franchise by the NHL in 1925, the Pittsburgh Pirates played in Pittsburgh from 1925 to 1930 and then moved to Philadelphia and became the Quakers. After their only season in Philadelphia, the franchise was cancelled due to financial problems. Both cities were awarded expansion teams over a quarter of a century later (the Flyers and Penguins).
