If I recall a few interviews he did about living in Boston, it was something along the lines of this.
He loved Boston and so did his family, he enjoyed living in Denver as it reminded him of Calgary and Alberta. The issue with Denver was the hockey related travel for his growing family. They had a decent youth program there but the travel would have been a lot and he was sick of it.
In Boston you get the great hockey program , great schools and a lot of the sports travel is very close given the population density and location. A 2-3 hour drive and your hitting a ton of areas.
He asked his kids where they wanted to go when he was done and they all agreed Boston was a good overall fit.
