To Boston,

Thank you for welcoming me into this great city when I was just a young Canadian kid looking to break it into the best league in the world. You allowed me to achieve my dream of playing in the National Hockey League and winning the Stanley Cup. For this I am forever grateful. You also embraced me from day one and immediately brought me into your family. Since that time, I have become a husband and a father to a beautiful family. My family is your family: we are Bostonians now and forever.

Representing this city as captain of the Boston Bruins was the greatest honor of my life, and it was a privilege to wear the Spoked B over the past 16 years.

Boston will always be a part of me, and it will always be a part of my family. There are too many people I want to thank to be able to include in this short note, but just know how grateful I am for the time I spent in Boston playing for Bruins.

Thank you,
Brad Marchand
