Ed Snider Youth Hockey & Education is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based nonprofit founded in 2005 by Ed Snider, then chairman of the Philadelphia Flyers. It operates in the spectator sports sector and serves more than 1,500 children from Philadelphia and Camden, NJ who would not otherwise have access to quality after-school athletic and academic enrichment programs. The organization provides hockey equipment, ice time, and coaching at no cost, using the sport as a vehicle to support academic success, personal development, and citizenship. It emphasizes whole-child development and ongoing support beyond early schooling, including programs that extend into early adulthood through initiatives such as Game Ready for Life. In 2024, Zip Code Wilmington partnered with Snider Hockey to offer training support for members, alumni and families.
