Boston Bruins spend 156,679.74$ at bar for stanley cup celebration meanwhile canucks donatie that much to chairty

[marleau_12]

correct me if im wrong but isnt the drinking age in USA 21?

[KFBR392]

24k tip.

Not bad,

[PlayStation]

NHL players are just like every other human being out there. Some of good some are bad. For instance the Sedins choose to make a difference with their money, both donated $1m to the Canucks for Kids fund, meanwhile guys like Marchand, Seguin, and "Biznasty" choose to not make a difference, and just spend their money on drinking and partying.

There is nothing wrong with having fun and going out, but if you're needlessly spending $10k+ a night, maybe you should look in the mirror.

Holy grammar, Batman!

[Batmania]

iam just curious name me all the people on the canucks who drink whine beer or liqur

[Remy]

I don't know, are you sure about that, Batmania. I don't think "whine beer or liqur" are actually things.

[etsen3]

I don't even like the Bruins but they can do whatever they want with their own money OP. I also know the Bruins are involved in the charity world.

Also I'm sure most of the Canucks drink and probably have done it underage too. It's not exactly a rare thing for people to do.

[Batmania]

I don't know, are you sure about that, Batmania. I don't think "whine beer or liqur" are actually things.

[surtur]

wow that is awesome how many people get to say they drank a 100K dollar bottle of champagne.

also who cares if segun is 19 , i purchased my first beer when i was 12. sure i was in germany but still.

if i just won the stanley cup my bar tab for me personally would have probably been that much but for a whole team i am kinda disappointed other then that 100K bottle.

just wish it was the nucks we were talking about.

[sauriol22]

would have been a good party

[Apple Juice]

24k tip.

Not bad,

[nucklehead]

And how much have the canucks ever spent on a stanley cup win celebartion? A big fat zero. How much would they spend? Hopefully more!!! Pointless thread/

[WillyFox]

Did they not party in Vancouver?!or did they fly home right after?

[schlaBAM]

the news came out when nobody was listening about the celebration which was long time after game 7 so yeah

[Steven Stamkos]

If I made millions of dollars and just accomplished my life long dream I would be doing the exact same thing, as would most people. Now stop trying to make yourself and team (because the Canucks probably would have done the same thing) better than they actually are.

[MANGO]

I'd be more disappointed if they didn't do stuff like this

I hate the Bruins likely more than anyone, but:

The Foundation provides grants to organizations that meet the standards of its mission, concentrating on the following four areas where it is best able to enrich the community:

Athletic

Athletic participation benefits children in many ways. It fosters physical fitness, teaches the importance of working together as a team toward a common goal, and rewards that teamwork with lessons of what can be accomplished with effort. It can enrich lives by bringing together people of diverse backgrounds with similar interests. The Boston Bruins Foundation believes that athletics teach children lessons that they will implement throughout their lives. The Foundation does not limit its athletic grants to the game of hockey; it has provided assistance to a variety of youth sports organizations whose efforts support the Foundation's mission.

One example of a program supported by the Foundation is "NHL Street," which provides schools and local community centers an athletic and educational program free of charge. The Foundation and the NHL provide street hockey equipment and conduct clinics for children ages 7-12, enabling schools and centers to expand their recreational programs while providing children an opportunity to learn and participate in a sports activity, which may be novel for many. Another program is "Skate to Educate," an elementary-based field trip program offering children the chance to learn to ice skate.

The Foundation was also a sponsor of the 2006 Mayor's Cup Youth Ice Hockey Tournament, which brought together more than 50 teams of young players from Boston's neighborhoods for a five-day ice hockey tourney. The Foundation has provided grants to other worthy organizations such as: S.C.O.R.E Boston; The Caddy Scholar Program; The Mayors Cup Roller Hockey program; First Tee Program; YMCAs of New England Street Hockey Brigades; Colonel Daniel Marr Boys & Girls Club; City Kicks (Boston Soccer Legacy Fund); Metro Lacrosse; and MGA Fore Kids Junior Golf Program.

Academics

Nothing is more important to a child's future than education, and the Boston Bruins Foundation is committed to helping children achieve academic success. The Foundation seeks to support programs that provide homework assistance and a safe learning environment to develop social and learning skills for pre-school, primary, middle school children. The Foundation endorses programs that employ unique methodologies that recognize children learn differently, as well as programs that challenge children to discover their own special talents.

The Foundation's efforts have created opportunities for Bruins management and players to visit schools and emphasize to children the importance of education. These efforts have nurtured the establishment of reading programs and assisted organizations that enhance educational opportunities for children outside the classroom. Programs supported by the Foundation that illustrate this commitment include: the MIT S.T.E.M. Outreach Program, which in 2006 enabled 74 students in Grades 6-9 from the Boston area take challenging courses in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; the Bird Street Community Center, which established a computer training program for children who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to learn those skills; and Jumpstart for Young Children, an organization that pairs college students with pre-school children from low-income backgrounds in a classroom setting to work on language, literacy, social and initiative skills. Patrice Bergeron from the Bruins was a shining example of a player who made a lasting impression through his school visits. A native of Quebec, Patrice visited a French Class at a suburban middle school to talk to the students in both French and English. Other worthy recipients of Foundation assistance includes: Boston Partners in Education; Facing History and Ourselves Foundation, Inc.; Girlz II Women.

Health

Another primary focus of the Boston Bruins Foundation is the health of the children in our community. The City of Boston and the entire New England region boast some of the world's preeminent hospitals and medical centers. The Foundation's proximity to these centers enables it to assist a wide variety of health concerns and to support a variety of organizations involved in research, care and prevention of the health concerns of our children.

The Foundation often does more than just donate money to these causes; in many cases the people behind the Foundation are active participants in helping these causes. An 18-member BBF team that included Kim Jacobs, wife of team executive vice president Charlie Jacobs, and former Bruins Terry O'Reilly and Don Sweeney, cycled the 192-mile route of the three-day Pan-Mass Challenge in August 2006. They teamed with 'pedal partner' Jeff Hayes, a 17-year-old from Sandwich, MA who battled Ewing's Sarcoma, to raise over $100,000 for the Dana Farber Institute to benefit cancer research.

Jeff sadly past away this January after a long battle with cancer. As a tribute to his spirit and the connection both he and his family made during the PMC, the Boston Bruins Foundation honored Jeff and his family in game with a special in game video tribute. 900 of Jeff's Sandwich High school classmates in attendance roared as the announcement was made that the 2007 Bruins PMC team would ride in Jeff's honor.

Another 30-member BBF team including mascot Blades, the Ice Girls and player wives Siw Axelsson, Katie Murray and Astrid Sturm, participated in the six-mile "Making Strides" Breast Cancer Walk along the Boston Esplanade in October 2006, raising $x for the fight against breast cancer. The BBF Cycling Team, organized by Charlie and Kim Jacobs, has participated in three of the annual Rodman Ride for Kids cycling tours that raise money for non-profit agencies that promote healthy and positive lives for children throughout New England. The Foundation donated the monies raised in the Rodman Rides to the Daniel Marr Boys & Girls Club.

Net proceeds from the Foundation's annual major charity events, such as the Boston Bruins Wives Charity Carnival, are contributed directly to charities large and small through Foundation grants. For example, the Foundation donated a portion of the 2003 Charity Carnival proceeds to allow The Children's Room, a center that offers support for children, teenagers and families grieving the loss of a parent or sibling, to purchase a permanent home in Arlington, MA. The 2006 Charity Carnival proceeds resulted in a $125,000 contribution to the Neely Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Floating Hospital. The foundation has also provided valuable assistance to other health-related organizations such as: The Neely House; Franciscan Hospital for Children; Joslin Diabetes Center; Easter Seals; Children's Hospital; The Ace Bailey Children's Fund; Cardinal Cushing School; Canines for Disabled Kids; The Home for Little Wanderers; and Rachel's Table.

Community Outreach

The Boston Bruins Foundation takes to heart its mission of 'enhancing the quality of life for children in our community.' The Foundation's community outreach area extends to organizations that are dedicated to working with at-risk or troubled youth, improving the self-esteem of children and developing our leaders of tomorrow. This area assists organizations that provide after-school activities to keep youth active, while exposing them to programs outside of a classroom curriculum.

Organizations that meet this aspect of the Foundation's mission include ScoutReach, a program under the auspices of the Boy Scouts of America (Boston Minuteman Council), that provides the traditional scouting program to at-risk youth from urban areas; the Cambridge Family YMCA that, through that Foundation, receives musical equipment to support a Youth All-City Choir and musical and performance art programs for children and teens in the Cambridge area; and the Boston Urban Youth Foundation that provides year-round services to high-risk truant students both during and after school as well as in summer programs. Other recipients include: Boston Police Athletic League; Camp Starfish; and the Community Advocacy Program.

I think age comes into play...younger guys will whoop it up a bit more than the guys who are married/with kids at home. Just a level of maturity that's involved. I do think our team....no, city will have a hefty party bill when we win the cup this year.

Nothing to see here in my view. Me and Captain Bob'll burn through a bill this big between the two of us when we win.
