Tuesday’s NHL Awards, held in person for the first time since 2019 because of the pandemic, had a distinctly Massachusetts flavor.
The Snow family, including Chris Snow, handed out the Norris Trophy. Chris, a former Boston Globe baseball writer who now works as an executive with the Flames, was diagnosed with ALS in 2019. He took the stage with his children and wife, Kelsie.
“I’d like to thank all of you for helping us here tonight. It means so much to my family and so much to people living with ALS,” said Chris.
“ALS is a daily struggle, and we hope that by sharing Chris’s story we are shining a light on this disease that will help the entire ALS community,” said Kelsie.
