Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education

The mission of Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education (Snider) is to create opportunities for under-resourced youth of the Greater Philadelphia Region to prosper in life. Snider was created in 2005 by the late Philadelphia Flyers founder Ed Snider. Using hockey as the hook, youth development programs support the changing needs of over 1,600 students as they advance through their stages of life, targeting windows of opportunity where long-term impact will be achieved. All programs - athletics (including equipment, coaching, and travel), academics, secondary and postsecondary preparation, scholarship, life skills, and leadership are offered at no cost to participants, all of whom must reside in Philadelphia or Camden Counties.
