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.
- are you really that naive? she will have to sign a pre-nup. later snider will discard her like he has his previous three wives
but then again, she'll have fond memories of their lovemaking— hannibal barca 
He isn't stupid - he doesn't care! He knows that she's with him for the money, but it doesn't matter - he gets what he wants out of the deal also. But why do these old men go for these anorexics?— lulu- Cable bills will have to be raised to pay for the settlement when she leaves.— oldbiker
- At this point Mr. Snider one more marriage away from having a wife who was not born last time his team won the Cup.— savebabygorilla
- Ed brought the first championchip team for an NHL expansion team much to the chagrin of the hockey establishment! In the early days, all those old line hockey teams used to come in to the Spectrum and beat our skating Frenchmen (Lacroix, Gendron & Nolet) to a pulp. Then when Ed went out and got guys who could defend themselves, some out-of-town writer called us the Broad Street Bullies....fact is, we beat the Bruins and others with good checking, good goaltending and the most resourceful player in hockey (Clarke).....so Ed have a great time with the new gal - you deserve it!— juggy gales
- Looks like Ed plans to die in bed.— The Baron
- Pop-Pop's marrying a chick 40 years younger than him and Jay's selling programs at the games. Perfect.— pnolan
- Atta Boy Eddie!— jondria

Peolpe love to watch it so that they can determine that they are are better than the cast .— Jim v
