Hey Ray, I think what you’re doing is great! I have a slightly unrelated question. I’m a college student doing a feature article for a sports writing class. I chose to write about the 2001 Stanley cup playoffs, and the only thing I’m having trouble finding is Boston’s reaction to your move to Colorado. Would you mind speaking about that aspect? Did you receive any negative responses?

Ray Bourque: For the most part, I didn't receive any negative responses. Bruins fans understood the reasons behind the move and were extremely supportive. I did receive a lot of emotional responses from fans that were sad that I left Boston. It was a real emotional time for myself and my family as well. But Bruins fans, to their credit, never stopped supporting me. Because of this and because of how I felt about Boston and the Bruins, I agreed to bring the cup back to Boston as any player would bring the cup back to their home.
