Daily News | Cam Atkinson and Bobby Brink, the two smallest Flyers, both set to celebrate milestones vs. the Capitals
WASHINGTON — On Monday night, the Flyers placed their bets. Who is taller, Cam Atkinson or Bobby Brink?“Which is a nice thing,” the 5-foot-8 Atkinson said jokingly.Atkinson may have a little bit of a height edge on Brink, who also is listed at 5-foot-8, but the 32-year-old sees a lot of himself in the young rookie. The two have had to silence doubters and prove their smaller size doesn’t hold them back at every level.
But driven by the support of good mentors and stories like 2018 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Marty St. Louis’, Atkinson kept working and used the doubt to “fuel my fire and try to prove people wrong.” Even so, when the next NHL draft came, Atkinson almost went undrafted again. Atkinson went on to prove everything Riley said about him right, becoming a a two-time All-Star, an alternate captain, and one of the top Blue Jackets of all-time.Traded to the Flyers this past summer, Atkinson has continued to lead both on the ice and in the locker room. He now splits time wearing the A with Scott Laughton. With 699 games under his belt, Atkinson has 452 points to his name.
