Flyers unveil Ed Snider statue
In honor of the late Ed Snider, the Philadelphia Flyers paid tribute by unveiling a bronze statue of him outside the Wells Fargo Center.
Prior to Thursday night’s game against the Nashville Predators, the Flyers unveiled a bronze 9-foot statue of their late founder, Ed Snider.
Thursday night also marked the 50th anniversary of the first Flyers home game back in 1967.
On the statue, there is a Stanley Cup championship ring on his left ring finger. Fans can touch it to encourage good luck for the team.
Under Mr. Snider, the Flyers won two Cups- one in 1974, and another in 1975.
Many Flyers greats joined the ceremony, including Bernie Parent and Bobby Clarke.
