Congratulations to Flyers owner Ed Snider and Lin Spivak, whom he began dating around March, who were recently engaged, Snider confirmed Thursday morning.
"We are very happy together," Snider said through Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman. They declined to provide specifics but SportsInput.com reported recently that Snider proposed to Spivak at a "swanky restarant in Santa Barbara, CA,"
The web site, which broke news of the engagement, says Comcast-Spectacor chairman Snider excused himself to the restroom at which point a group of singers came over and sang "Marry You" by Bruno Mars before Snider returned, getting down on one knee and proposing marriage.
Snider, 79, has been married three times, divorcing jewelry designer Christine Decroix in 2009. Spivak, 45, has been previously married as well.
No word yet on when or where the couple plan to wed.
He is quite the handsome chap...I can see why she fell in love with him.
Hey, everyday Ed wakes up breathing is a good day...and waking up next to her makes it even better...
Ewwwww - not enough money in the world for me to have to &**#@* that!— ilovesalad- I cannot understand why a thrice wed almost 80 year old wants to get married. Hope he has a good pre-nup; his face looks like Jerry Jones'— Marie Elena
- Yo, Ed! Four wedding rings but only TWO Stanley Cup Championship rings ? Your track record speaks volumes.— Jon Corleone
- I wonder if he forces her to call him Mr Snider.— Nipsey Russell
- Sacksy, I hear ya. Why should married and miserable be a heterosexual monopoly ?— Jon Corleone
- Ed Snider's not a naive guy: He has something to offer and so does she..So he lives out the last years of his life with a smile on his face, and then she moves on with her life— Polecat_39

- Good thing his wife is a trophy. He won't be winning a Stanley Cup anytime soon. — Jon Corleone
- I hope his new old lady locks him out, steals all his money, and refuses to let him put his puck in the net. May he, and his new bimbo be as miserable as Flyers fans are.— crzkat
- PS I'd bet his hockey stick is broken!— crzkat
- Big Ed since 1976---3 wives, no Stanley Cup.— farley

- Why would a 45 year old woman want a 79 year old man. My guess this woman wants to get her grimy paws on his money. If she knows she can't get it, watch her get pregnant. Then, she will be entitled to the 18 year anuity called child support. Obvious gold digger.— AndyEagle
