The Philadelphia Wings were one of the original four franchises in the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League, joining the New Jersey Saints, Washington Wave, and Baltimore Thunder in 1987. While the Wings went only 3-4 that first season including a loss in the playoffs, they drew an average of almost 12,000 fans to their three 1987 regular season games.

Some of the early stars of those teams included Mike French, Hall of Fame college player at Cornell and a current team executive, as well as John Grant Sr., father of current NLL star John Grant Jr.
