From our friends at CSN Philly:

Flyers chairman Ed Snider has recently completed treatment for cancer, sources have told CSN’s John Clark.

The specific form of cancer has not been disclosed, but according to Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman, it’s not life threatening. Snider is doing well, and his condition has not affected his ability to run the organization.

Snider was treated and released from Fox Chase Cancer Center.

Thursday night Snider told CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio that he feels “great.”

Snider is 81 years old, but still very much involved in the team’s business, as was evident earlier this month when the Flyers re-arranged the front office.
