The Philadelphia Flyers Alumni Association will give $2 million to the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation for help with construction of a new hockey rink in the city. It will be named the Edward M. Snider / Alumni Ice Rink after the man who brought the Flyers to the city in 1967.
The donation -- well, it's more of a pledge at this point -- comes in honor of the 50th anniversary of the team, and it will be presented with a giant, symbolic check before tonight's game against Buffalo.
Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation is just a great organization, and they help kids throughout Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley through the sport of hockey.
