Donald Brashear, known to friends as ”Brash,” played for the Flyers from 2001-06, and again in Monday night's alumni game. On Wednesday he skated with the kids of the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation, during a clinic at the Laura Sims Skate House in Cobbs Creek.

Brashear, who helped launch the Snider Foundation in 2005, said it’s a way for him to give that predominantly Black community a Black hockey role model.

Brashear worked with the boys and girls and their regular coaches, and afterwards signed a Flyers puck for each of the 60-some players. The non-profit Snider Hockey uses the sport to “educate and empower under-resourced youth of Philadelphia to prosper in the game of life.”
