The 100 People of Power & Influence in hockey are featured in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power issue, available at THN.com/free.
At No. 84 is Daniel Hilferty, CEO and governor of the Philadelphia Flyers.
A longtime healthcare executive, Hilferty has dived headfirst into his role as Flyers boss. His joint venture with NBA's 76ers on a new arena in South Philadelphia was big news in 2025.
Comcast Spectacor also offloaded its TV networks before Hilferty came aboard. As a result, his focus can be the Flyers and overseeing the sports-and-entertainment arm of Comcast.
Each person on the list this year is ranked in 14 categories of job classification, from owners to players to agents, along with many more powerbrokers identified within various silos of expertise. That's all available to find in The Hockey News' 2026 Money & Power hockey business annual.
