It's fun to rag on Toronto and the Maple Leafs. But this an impressive show of support to a family who recently lost their father (a 25 year Leafs season ticket holder).
Quote:
The family received flowers and a card reading, “Our thoughts and prayers are with you as we mourn the loss of a great member of Leafs Nation – The Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club.”
They also received this letter signed by Dave Nonis, senior VP and general manager of the Leafs. The text of it:
On behalf of the entire Toronto Maple Leafs organization, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your father, Paul.
I understand your father was a long-time and loyal Leafs fan, as well as a season seat holder for more than 25 years, and that the two of you were able to share many special memories together cheering on the team.
Hockey offers a fantastic bond between Canadian fathers and sons and we hope that the memories you shared together at Leafs games will comfort you and your family during this difficult time.
Again, our deepest sympathies; our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
There are so many great things about going to a hockey game, and when you add them all up you create special memories and associate them with who you were with.
Classy Maple Leafs Gesture
