We are inching ever more closely to the Stanley Cup Final. Who will be battling for hockey’s ultimate prize and which player will step up their game the most to help propel his team to greatness? 40-years ago in the postseason, no player elevated his play more than Philadelphia Flyers forward Reggie Leach, aka the…
The Flyers are on an incredible run towards the postseason right now, but one personality who hasn’t been around the Wells Fargo Center much this season is chairman Ed Snider.
