"After two excellent seasons, Cechmanek hopes to finally establish himself as the unquestioned goaltending leader of the Flyers. On the ice, the unorthodox 'keeper had few problems last season. However, he has had ongoing run-ins with Philly management and a few of his teammates. Hopefully, new coach Ken Hitchcock can resolve some of the problems betweek Cechmanek and the club. On a positive note, Cechmanek exorcised his playoff ghosts last year with an outstanding performance against Ottawa. Following the Brian Boucher trade, Cechmanek has been given a major vote of confidence in Philadphia. It's now up to him to raise his game to another level." (The Sports Forecaster 2002-03, p. 104)
