BOSTON, MA - Boston Bruins Owner and NHL Board of Governors Chairman Jeremy Jacobs issued the following statement on the passing of Philadelphia Flyers Chairman and Governor Ed Snider:
"Ed was an icon of the game. He brought major league hockey to Philadelphia as one of the franchise’s founders, and he built the Flyers’ original home and their current home. He always acted in the best interest of the league while remaining a fierce competitor. We will miss his leadership, and on a personal note I will miss his friendship.”
