Philadelphia Flyers CEO Dan Hilferty Sends Letter to Season Ticket Holders

«Dear valued Inside Edge Member,

Today is a historic and significant moment for the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

By naming Keith Jones the President of Hockey Operations and Daniel Briere the team's General Manager, we are kicking off a new era of Flyers hockey and taking the necessary steps to position this organization for the sustained success that our fans deserve.

The search process that we just completed was detailed and exhaustive, and our top focus was to find leaders with complimentary skill sets experience, and temperament to begin a new, winning era for this proud franchise. With Jonesy and Danny joining Head Coach John Tortorella, along with Valerie Camillo, and me, I have total confidence that we have the right leadership team in place to guide the Philadelphia Flyers into the future.

All of us are completely committed to rebuilding and restoring our winning tradition � and doing it the right way. We want to make YOU proud to wear Orange & Black, proud to fill the New Wells Fargo Center, and proud to send a clear message to any team that enters our building: the Philadelphia Flyers are BACK.

This will take time, because you don't achieve the ultimate goal by taking shortcuts, but make no mistake: we are moving full steam ahead, and we're doing it together. Last year, we saw the team take necessary steps in the right direction � playing the right way and embracing Coach Tortorella's standard � but there's more work to be done.

We stand on the shoulders of legends who this organization. They never gave up and neither will we.

Welcome to the New Era of Orange!»
