Simon Benoit Stats & Bio | Flyers Defenseman

About Simon Benoit

Simon Benoit is a defenseman for the Philadelphia Flyers, wearing number 2 and bringing a commanding physical presence to the blue line. Standing 6'3" and weighing 208 pounds, the Laval, Quebec native possesses the size and skating ability that NHL organizations prize in a modern shutdown defenseman. Born on September 19, 1998, Benoit developed his game through the Canadian junior hockey system rather than the traditional college route, honing his craft in competitive leagues before earning his spot at the professional level. His imposing frame allows him to protect the defensive zone effectively while also contributing in transition. Representing both his hometown province and the proud city of Philadelphia, Benoit continues to grow as a reliable presence on the Flyers' backend, building on the strong foundation he established early in his career.
