“Today, we mourn the tragic loss of one of our city’s great ambassadors, Ed Snider. Ed built one of the premier organizations in both the city of Philadelphia and the entire National Hockey League and his legacy will live on forever.
Along with his unwavering civic support, Ed’s commitment to everything he worked for is truly something to be cherished. In competition, his teams showcased remarkable skill and heart, leading to exceptionally consistent success that has been rarely duplicated in any sport. But off the ice, the organization displayed the epitome of class. Ed built something that set a very high standard for how professional sports organizations should carry themselves and we truly strive to emulate it on a daily basis.
