Thank You
An open letter to the Boston Bruins organisation & the City of Boston
Hockey is a tough game. As impressed as we were by the strength, talent and competitive spirit of the Boston Bruins on the ice, we were deeply touched by what happened off the ice. Rarely have we experienced the hospitality you afforded us throughout the playoff series between two incredibly gifted teams.
On behalf of the Chicago Blackhawks organisation and the entire Wirtz Corporation, we want to personally express our heartfelt appreciation to your city, the Bruins organisation, and especially, the citizens of Boston for the remarkable welcome you showed our team and the many Chicagoans who visited.
From Boston's political leadership to every member of the Bruins organisation; from the players to the people on the streets, you demonstrated respect, good sportsmanship, and a genuine love for the great game of hockey.
Like the rest of the world, Chicagoans have been reminded in recent days of Boston's strength. Please know we tip our hat to your city's big heart and gracious spirit. You lead by example and have set the bar very high for others to follow.
Respectfully
Rocky Wirtz, Chairman - Wirtz Corporation
John McDonough, President and CEO - Chicago Blackhawks
They paid for a full page of advertisement in the globe newspaper today just to put the letter there and that's why Chicago is classy
