According to his son, Ed Snider's last full sentence was in gratuity towards his hockey team.
Following the Philadelphia Flyers' Game 4 win to extend their season, Wells Fargo Center held a celebration of team founder Ed Snider's life. It was a beautiful event to honor and celebrate the legacy of the man who did so much not just for Philadelphia, but for hockey as a whole.
Featured were a lot of speakers, all of whose lives Snider had touched in a profound way. The common theme of hockey ran underneath it all as each speaker took the time to discuss just how much he meant to them - whether he was family, a friend, someone to lean on in tough times, or helped get them get to where they are today - and it's clear he touched a lot of people.
