According to NHL.com, the show's writer and producer, Adam Goldberg, is a local Philadelphia guy and a forever fan of the Philadelphia Flyers. His show is loosely based on his own upbringing in Jenkintown, a suburb of Philadelphia, and the antics that encompass his family life.
Wednesday's episode, titled "Big Orange," centers on a missing, well-loved Flyers T-shirt that may or may not have been stolen by certain family members.
Snider, who died April 11, is expected to be mentioned in a special way.
