Thanks to the Boston Bruins’ quick dismissal of the
Montreal Canadiens in the opening round of the National Hockey
League playoffs, general manager Peter Chiarelli was allowed a rare
luxury last weekend.
Chiarelli escaped to Fenway Park, watching the Red Sox play host
to the New York Yankees, a perfect place to ponder where he is and
where he has came from, if he felt so inclined.
The Nepean native has become an adopted son in Boston after
spending four years at Harvard University in the 1980s, earning his
economics degree while also serving as captain of the
school’s hockey team. Due to the Bruins’ success, he
has also become a central figure in Beantown’s
ultra-competitive professional sports world, which also features
the New England Patriots and Boston Celtics.
