The news is spreading this morning that Philadelphia Flyers founder and longtime owner, Ed Snider, has passed away. It has been reported for some time that Snider was very ill, with the entire team visiting him back in December at his California home. Through his illness, the team always kept him involved, most likely at his behest to keep up with his beloved Flyers. Just this weekend, Flyers anthem singer Lauren Hart FaceTimed with Snider while singing the national anthem.
This morning, some details are being made public about his struggle with cancer.
