Former Flyers captain Mike Richards was among the 21 NHL stars at Flyers Skate Zone in Atlantic City on Wednesday for the Bauer Pro Camp, a video and photo shoot for Bauer's apparel commercials and ads.

Richards, of course, donned his No. 10 Los Angeles Kings jersey. He won the Stanley Cup with the Kings after being traded from the Flyers last offseason.

"It was a little weird going through the Philly airport again, but it was all right," Richards said. "It was nice getting to say hello to friends in this area, so it was good to see everyone again. I skated with Claude (Giroux) a little bit today and got to see Derek (Settlemyre, the Flyers' equipment manager) and the other guys that are around. it’s definitely exciting."

In addition to Richards and Giroux, other stars at the event included Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, Henrik Lundqvist, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews.
