Do I start with a Moops joke? Not topical enough? How about a John Travolta joke? That's even less timely, true. Jake Gyllenhaal? Oh, wait – I've got it.

If the Sixers want to avoid the injury bug that's plagued them in recent years, maybe they should take a page from the Flyers' playbook and start placing their new draftees in bubblewrap before sending them out onto the court.

Eh, I should've gone with the Moops.

Anyway, on Wednesday morning, the Flyers prospect development camp continued, but probably not in the way you think. With the team in Stone Harbor, N.J. for their annual Trial on the Isle – a team-building-slash-community-outreach that includes some "friendly" in-house competition – the prospects took part in a game of bubble soccer.

If you're not sure what that is, it's exactly what it sounds like.

That's right. You're looking at some of the Flyers prospects, including No. 2 overall pick Nolan Patrick, literally wearing protective bubbles. But if you that makes the game any less violent, you're wrong. These are hockey players we're talking about after all.

As for Patrick, who is coming off surgery for a sports hernia ... he seems to be feeling just fine.

[Kyle periscoped the game, and you can go back and watch his video, here.]

The bubble soccer match was only part of the fun for Flyers and their fans on Wednesday. There was also a sand sculpture contest, which was won by Patrick:

Of course some unwelcome guests decided to show up as well...
