Today we wish (Utility) Anthony Abel a happy belated 23rd birthday! Anthony began playing quidditch in the fall 2015 and has since specialized in playing the positions of Keeper, Chaser, and seeker. Unfortunately he will be leaving us for the west coast at the conclusion of this season so we also good him the best of wishes! #happybirthday #phillyquidditch #quidditch #mugglequidditch

Today we wish a very happy 23rd birthday to our Captain and beater coach, (Beater) Stephen Jaworski! Our fearless captain has been a member of the Honey Badgers for 3 years. There is no doubt how hard and how smart he plays his position. He always tries to help his our beaters get better and play smarter on the pitch. We are certainly glad to have him as our Captain. #happybirthday #phillyquidditch

Today we would like to give a birthday shout out to (Chaser) William Messner. He turned 33 yesterday. William is the only player that remains from when the team was founded in 2011. He has already declared that he would be going on hiatus after this season and possibly even retire from quidditch depending on how success with his new employer. #happybirthday #phillyquidditch #quidditch #first12 #mugglequidditch

Today we wish one of our newest additions (Chaser) Gus Longo a very happy 23rd birthday! Acquired during the off-season, Gus has displayed a lot of drive, determination, and great sportsmanship to not only the teams he plays against but also great support for his team mates whether it is a game or just practice. We're happy to have you with us. Happy birthday! #happybirthday #quidditch #mugglequidditch #phillyquidditch

Today we give a birthday shout out to Kepper/Chaser Jack Whiteman (retired). On this day, he turns a ripe young age of 35. Jack proudly served 3 years with the Honey Badgers and earned the position of equipment manager. Since retiring, this 6'6" teddy bear now focuses his time on his work and family. His wife, @pinchita13, was also a great contributor during this time and was nicknamed "team mom." Happy Birthday buddy! #happybirthday #phillyquidditch #mugglequidditch #quidditch
