ANNUAL REPORT 2015 GAME READY FOR LIFE A M E S S A G E F R O M O U R P R E S I D E N T/ C E O : Rather than write about some of our past year’s accomplishments, I would much rather look toward the future. Each year Snider Hockey continues to evolve. The launch of our new Game Ready for Life! initiative builds our capacity while raising our educational goals from high school graduation to achieving post-secondary success – truly preparing our students to become GAME READY FOR LIFE! By continuing to retain, mentor, and track our students after they graduate from high school and throughout their post-secondary programs, we will grow our enrollment and deepen the impact that we have on our students, as well as enlarge our staff to meet the needs of our expanded deliverables. Moreover, many of our new hires will be graduates of our programs. A new partnership with the Give Something Back Foundation will allow us to provide our eligible students with full post-secondary scholarships (tuition, plus room and board) to one of an ever-growing list of partner institutions, which currently includes: Montclair State University, Philadelphia University, Rowan University, The Community College of Philadelphia, The College of New Jersey, University of Delaware, Temple University, West Chester University, and Williamson School of the Mechanical Trades. Our deserving alumni of Snider Hockey will not only be able to graduate from their post-secondary programs equipped with the educational and vocational training to prepare them to enter the workforce, but they will be free of debt on a smooth pathway to becoming productive citizens in our society. It’s easy to see why programs like Game Ready for Life! reinforce Ed’s wish that Snider Hockey will be his legacy. Scott Tharp 1 OUR MISSION To Build Lives and Unite Communities HOW WE DO IT Snider Hockey is a cutting edge program that uses the sport of ice hockey coupled with a rigorous off-ice Life Skills curriculum and supplemental educational services to build character and academic skills for under-resourced boys and girls from Philadelphia and Camden. Hockey is simply the hook that is used to gain and hold the attention of our students, so that we may keep them fully engaged in activities that strengthen their physical, academic and emotional development.

Services such as Required Tutoring, Homework Help, Reading Buddies, College & Career Corners, Academic Enrichment Activities, and Life Skills are available to Snider Hockey students. These innovative programs are designed to complement in-school lessons, while promoting a lifelong enjoyment of reading, critical thinking, and group communication. Snider Hockey uses report cards to track a number of “Early Warning Indicators” such as attendance/tardiness, behavior, and performance in core classes. This provides empirical evidence that helps us evaluate and measure the overall success of our programs. HOCKEY IS THE HOOK Hockey is a team sport, which is competitive and collaborative at the same time. The greatest outcomes result from player interaction. In addition, hockey requires competitive participants to always be accountable to their teammates for their individual actions. Players must be strong and confident individuals, but also good teammates and citizens. Hockey promotes a responsible form of tenacity, which can be instrumental to kids throughout their personal and professional development. And, as Snider Hockey continues its journey to serve the deserving young people in urban communities, it is clear that our programs are making a positive difference in the lives of thousands of children and the communities in which they live. 4 5 H E A LT H Y H A B I T S L E A D T O H E A LT H Y L I V I N G The academic and athletic skills that our young people acquire are much more valuable when coupled with the life lessons necessary to be successful students, athletes, and citizens. Snider Hockey’s Life Skills curriculum focuses on helping students build the capacity to understand themselves and others. The net result is young people who learn to make healthy choices, remain strong, and even thrive in the face of challenges. It is Snider Hockey’s goal to continue to facilitate nutrition education at our rinks, in an effort to help our students develop healthy habits, both on and off the ice. All programming offered by Snider Hockey is fact-based and highlights many national nutritional guidelines. Each lesson teaches key messages and behavior goals that are delivered in the form of group discussion, hands-on learning activities, and recipe making. 6 EVERY CHILD NEEDS A ROLE MODEL Snider Hockey’s staff models the behavior and expectations that are part of the Snider Hockey experience; warm, fun, encouraging, and safe. Our coaches and academic aides are positive role models committed to each child’s growth and development and inspire young people to be their best selves. Consistent mentoring between coaches and students helps to instill confidence and positive self-esteem in our youth. Snider Hockey serves as a bridge between our students, families, and their multiple worlds - trusting that through their commitment to our programs, they will receive much-needed support and information that will help them navigate through school and community life. In turn, school professionals know that they can turn to Snider Hockey to help reach families. They see our rinks as hubs for learning and growth – truly working to unite these communities. 99% SNIDER HOCKEY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE 7 VS. 56% AVG.

PHASE ONE: MIDDLE SCHOOL Middle school students engage in tutoring services and academic counseling sessions offered before or after hockey lessons. These sessions prepare students to develop a regular routine for homework help and to keep in compliance with matriculation requirements. Students are armed with tips and strategies on time-management and organizational and study skills needed to succeed in high school. Students are also counseled on selecting a high school that will best fit their personal needs. 9 PHASE TWO: HIGH SCHOOL Routine homework help and tutoring continues once a Snider Hockey student enters high school. An assigned academic aide also helps identify career interests; categorizes post-secondary programs that best match students’ needs and interests; chronicles extra-curricular activities and course requirements; and centralizes all information for college applications, scholarships, and financial aid. These sessions take place during the Game Ready! College Corner throughout the week and during campus visits to local colleges and universities. PHASE THREE: POST-SECONDARY PURSUITS A partnership has been forged with the Give Something Back Foundation that will grant all eligible Snider Hockey graduates with full scholarships (tuition, room, and board) allowing them to complete postsecondary programs free of debt. Students are required to complete check-in meetings and mentoring sessions that focus on: costbenefit analyses of post-secondary options, determining degree plans, scholarship/ grant research and application process, FAFSA assistance and budget planning, selfadvocacy, internship research, interview skill building, and the importance of seeking support and establishing relationships on campus or in the workforce.

Quinn Spitzer Jim Sutow Kimmo Timonen Paul Troy Phil Weinberg ED’S LEGACY Mr. Snider was an icon – the father of the Philadelphia Flyers hockey club, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a risktaker and a true visionary in the sports and entertainment industry. He was widely respected and admired for his passion, his vision, and his leadership, not only on the ice, but in the game of life as well. One of Ed Snider’s proudest accomplishments was the creation of the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation in 2005. “This is how I want people to remember me... this is what I want to be my legacy. What we’re doing for kids. I’m more proud of this than anything else I’ve done in my life.” 22 ED SNIDER YOUTH HOCKEY FOUNDATION 3601 S.
