GRACE MAIORANO/South Philly Review
Although Ed Snider was acclaimed for bringing an NHL team to the city, the sports business executive wanted to be remembered for more than his establishment of the Philadelphia Flyers. In honoring that legacy, The Snider Foundation and Mural Arts Philadelphia collaborated to create the ‘Snider Hockey: Inspiring Our Youth’ public art, which was recently unveiled at 929 Snyder Ave.
