Flyers’ chairman Scott to retire; Hilferty becomes successor
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dave Scott will retire as chairman of the Philadelphia Flyers’ parent company Comcast Spectacor and be replaced by Dan Hilferty. Hilferty was recently named CEO of Comcast Spectacor. He will succeed Scott as chairman of the company on April 17 and as the team’s governor on July 1.
