Jim Watson spent his entire decade in the NHL manning the blue line for the Philadelphia Flyers. He helped the Orange and Black win the Stanley Cup in both 1974 & 1975. After his playing days, Watson – who grew up in British Columbia – stayed in the Delaware Valley, eventually helped found Ice Works in Aston, where he still works today.

In Episode #180 of “1-on-1 with Matt Leon,” Matt talks about Watson’s long career in hockey. They talk about his days playing pond hockey as a kid, look back at his time with the Flyers, discuss what it was like to play in Philadelphia with his brother Joe,  and much more.
