The Bruins organization is planning a tour throughout New England, where fans can view the CUP. Here’s what some Bruins have planned for their allotted time with the Cup:
• Tim Thomas: "It'll be going to Flint, Michigan. I've had a lot of family and friends that have been supporting me for a long time. I want to reward them by sharing the Cup with them for a day. Possibly I may get it for a second day. If that’s the case, I may be able to share it with a whole other group of people, [possibly in Vermont]."
• Andrew Ference: "I'm going to have it in Boston, here in the North End. ... It means more to have it here [as opposed to his hometown in Canada], we've made our home here. ... It means a lot to the people in the city, it really does."
• Claude Julien: “Well I started thinking about it. And the biggest thing that comes to mind, you want to share it. It’s not mine it’s ours. I think our fans here know that by now. Same thing when you bring it home, there are so many people that made an impact in your life. And there are some people who are deserving of seeing it. You look for the best charity you can at that point and try to share it with them. But it will certainly be with that and people who have had an impact on your life. So I will certainly make the best of it. And that’s one thing I will take time to plan carefully and do it the best I can.”
• David Krejci: “Yeah, I’m going to go home to my hometown [in the Czech Republic] and share it with my family, my friends and a few other people back home.”
• Tyler Seguin: “Yeah, it’s tough to say right now. I haven’t been trying to think about it at all because I knew I was going to jinx it so right now, I have in mind, just taking it to the rink where I learned to play hockey, which was, you know, I think I’ll do something there. And maybe just bring it around Toronto.”
• Shawn Thornton: “No, [don’t have any plans for my day with the Cup,] not yet. I haven’t thought about much in the last three days, I’m not going to lie to you. It’s been a rough one.”
• Patrice Bergeron: “I’ve thought about a couple of things but it’s still something I need to think about and it’s going to be a special day, that’s for sure. I’ll share it with my family and friends but I’m not sure exactly what I’ll do all day.”
• Tomas Kaberle: “Yeah, I got a pretty good idea. I would bring it home where I grew up playing hockey [in the Czech Republic] to share it with my friends and closest family. And I’m sure it’s going to be a nice day at the village where I live.”
• Zdeno Chara: “I haven’t yet [decided what I’ll do on my day with the Cup]. Obviously we were quite busy with the things we were doing over here but I’ll put more thought into it.”
• Tuukka Rask: “I’m just going to have a family day. Just keep it in the family and a couple friends, that’s about it. I don’t want to do anything too crazy with it. Just show it to the family and friends and stay quiet.”
• Rich Peverley: “I’m just going to take it back to my hometown [in Ontario] and I think maybe spend a little personal time with it and maybe go out and have fun with friends.”
• Adam McQuaid: “Take it back home, obviously. I’m not sure of the exact details, but there are a lot of things I’d like to do with it but I don’t have enough time to do everything.”
• Johnny Boychuk: “I have no clue yet. I have no clue at all. I haven’t even thought about it, well I thought about it, but I just don’t know what I’m going to do.”
