When Ed Snider died in 2016, Flyers fans mourned the man who brought the NHL to the City of Brotherly Love.
From the Broad Street Bullies to the Legion of Doom, the Flyers had built a reputation as a constant atop the Stanley Cup odds year in and year out, which meant filling Snider’s shoes would be no easy task.
As such, Brian L. Roberts, one of the richest NHL owners who now serves as the CEO and chairman of Comcast and the Flyers’ direct ownership company Comcast-Spectator, has had his hands full in an effort to turn the Flyers back into a perennial Cup contender.
