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.

    Yo, Ed, will Garry Bettman receive a wedding invite from a major market NHL owner when you tie the knot?

    He got off cheaper with Eric Lindross. Shouldn't he be tired by now of halving his income every so many years? A financial arrangement with a premium escort service would be a better investment. You can just trade in when you get tired of the current model for a newer ride.

    There's some hard miles on that "45" year old. Hanging out in smoked filled clubs and getting drunk enough to let an 80 year old put the biscuit in the basket will do that to ya.

    God put no age limits on getting married!!! He did say a person should only marry once unless there was adultery within the marriage. However, He did not approve of gay marriage! Quit complaining.

    Well, good for Ed. As for her, does anyone really have any doubts to motive? 34 year age difference!? Really? Ok anna nicole. I like the exasperated look in the sons face as he realizes his inheritance is going further down the drain with yet another marriage.
