The Philadelphia Flyers have opened applications for its second annual Next Shift: Mentoring the Next Generation of Female Leaders program. 

The program debuted in March 2023, and is part of the Flyers’ year-round efforts to promote and foster female talent in the front office.

“We are thrilled to bring back Next Shift: Mentoring the Next Generation of Female Leaders for another season,” said Blair Listino, Flyers Alternate Governor and Chief Financial and Administrative Officer for Comcast Spectacor. “Last year’s Next Shift Game gave young women a one-of-kind Flyers gameday experience and opportunity to learn from the many talented women in our organization who are integral to making each and every game night a success.”

This year, the Flyers are partnering with Holman — a certified woman-owned business enterprise — as the program’s title sponsor, to help take the program to the next level. 

As the program sponsor, Holman will partner with the Flyers to host a panel, which panelists will discuss their experiences working in traditionally male-dominated industries and the steps the took to land their roles in the sports industry.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Flyers to show the female leaders of tomorrow that their legacies will not be defined by gender, but rather the unique potential that each of them possesses,” said Holman’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources Kristina Nicoles, who will be a panelist.

On Thursday, March 14, when the Flyers host the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Next Shift program will pair local girls and young women, ages 18 to 22, with different female Flyers leaders and executives and provide them with a behind-the-scenes look at the different roles they play on a Flyers gameday.

Participating team leaders and executives come from marketing, communications, game presentation, sales, broadcast, corporate partnerships and community relations departments on both the hockey and business operations. 

Applications will close on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 12 PM.
