From a strictly hockey sense, I think the team is ready to move on and has shown multiple times this year that they have some other players who can step in. With Bouma's recent scoring touch, he now is a better "Glencross" anyway.
As a Calgarian though, I'll miss him. Glencross does a ton for local charities and is a constant visitor to the Children's Hospital. He showed up at a small fundraiser for a young player I know going through cancer treatment this year, and was the utmost in class and kindness. Definitely changed my opinion of him for the better.
