"Staci is a tremendous asset to this Philadelphia organization," added team president/CEO David Halstead. "Her unique expertise will provide a terrific foundation of knowledge and learning to the young players of this expansion team and will assist the organization to develop a cohesive group from the team’s expansion, international, and college draft selections."
