BREAKING Flyers chairman Dave Scott to retire; Dan Hilferty becomes successor
Hilferty, who was recently named CEO of Comcast Spectacor, will succeed Scott as chairman of the company on April 17 and as the team's governor on July 1.
Scott joined Comcast Spectacor in December 2013 and the Flyers have struggled under his reign. They will miss the playoffs for a third straight season and haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1975. "Our number one goal for the Flyers will be to consistently compete for the Stanley Cup," Hilferty said. "It is going to be a process that will take time to get on that path, but I'm confident we are headed in the right direction with Danny Briere as interim GM, Coach Tortorella, and our hiring of a President of Hockey Operations soon.
As Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor, Hilferty will lead the company's entire portfolio, including the Philadelphia Flyers. Spectacor Sports and Entertainment CEO Valerie Camillo will continue to work directly with Hilferty, overseeing the Wells Fargo Center, including its continued transformation, and lead the Flyers' business operations.
