To the most passionate fans in hockey:

I am overwhelmed by the support you have given me by participating in the NHL13 cover vote and landing me a spot in the finals. Regardless of the outcome, which will be announced at the NHL Awards on June 20th, I can confidently say that we have the best fans in all of hockey.I wanted to thank each and every one of you personally for your support in this contest and also throughout the past season. I have known since the first time I took the ice in Philadelphia that our fans are unmatched by any other team. I feel a real sense of pride that I have had the opportunity to play in front of you game after game.Thank you again for your support and I can’t wait to hit the ice for the 2012-13 season!
