It was really something skating at Fenway Park today, and to be a part of the first skate made it even better. I’ve skated on better pond ice before but that’s not the point; and the quality of the ice on this day will not be the quality of the ice when the Bruins and Flyers play on January 1st, 2010.

What was really cool was the people who were there and the feeling that we were all a part of something special. Hockey Hall of Famers like Bobby Orr and others wished they could have had something like this in their playing days.
Bruins Great and Hall of Famer Bobby Orr
There will be many others who skate at Fenway prior to the big game on the first of the year and quite a few of them will pay big bucks to do it; but we did it for free and we did it first. That’s what warmed all of our hearts. Hey we needed it too, it was only 17 degrees!
