FROM THE FANS. STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART.
SORRY,
GRAPES.
We didn’t always agree.
We knew you cared.
We knew you wanted the best for Canada and all its people. Through the straight talk and the wild suits, that’s the heart we saw. This one’s for you, Don.

01 / AN OPEN LETTER
DON,
THIS IS
PERSONAL.
Dear Don,
For those of us who grew up with your voice as part of our Saturday nights, this is personal. We remember the passion, the personality, and the love you brought to hockey.
We didn’t always agree with what you said. Sometimes we saw things differently. But we knew you always wanted the best for Canada and all its people. That mattered to us then, and it still does.
Looking back, we wish we’d said that more clearly. We could disagree and still appreciate the heart behind the voice. We’re sorry we didn’t do a better job of showing it. Thank you, Grapes. You haven’t been forgotten.
With love, your fans.
