That would be Ed Snider
Ed Snider has owned the Philadelphia Flyers since they enterd the league in 1967
The Flyers got their name through a contest. Bill Putnam announced there would be a contest to decide the name of the Philadelphia hockey team, and many attempted to win the contest. It was the sister of Ed Snider (who owns the Philadelphia Flyers) that suggested the name Flyers, and Ed Snider saw it as a winning name. Over 100 entries were labeled as "Flyers" and a drawing was held to determine which one would be the winner. It was Alec Stockard, at that time a 9-year-old boy, who won the drawing, although he did misspell the name and wrote "Fliers."
Ed Snider was born on 1933-01-06.
