The Philadelphia Flyers will pay tribute to it’s late founder, Ed Snider. Snider passed away on April 11th, 2016 of bladder cancer.

He was known to many as simply Mr. Snider.

In his honor, there will be a bronze 9-foot statue placed right outside the Wells Fargo. The 1,300 pound statue, built by Chad Fisher, will stand on a 3-foot base made from solid granite.

The process of designing the statue took place inside the Wells Fargo Center in the archives office. Fisher collected multiple pictures of Snider, who then met with the Snider family to agree on a layout.
